Happy New Year from our living room

This year's winter
has been indecisive;
a bit of snow one day then
laundry hanging out
on the line in full sun
the next.

I keep waiting
for a real arrival.


An antelope herd races my car...

The last few weeks
we've slowed our pace,
shifted priorities.
I love a clean slate.

Resolutions...I haven't made one
in years. But there is something
about a new year;
the way it frames vague intentions
and sharpens
my focus.


New snow, ghost town cabin

And while I haven't declared
this the year of any one
particular undertaking,
my thoughts &
intentions swirl me toward
Time. With a capital T.

Time to catch my breath,
and forget about
what is supposed to come
next.
Time for my family, my friends,
for trying something new.
Time for myself.


Amaryllis; before & after

Time to enjoy now,
because things change
so
quickly.
