It depends on us… Another year lies before us like an unwritten page, an unspent coin, an unwalked road. How the pages will read, what treasure will be gained in exchange for time, or what we find along the way, will largely depend on us.

I’ve been away for a little while, off having fun with family and friends. If you’re interested in some of the details, visit me over at Life in the Bogs sometime in the next day or two. Don’t go today though, as I don’t think I’ll get to it.
This morning I’ve given a little thought to things I need to do, projects in the works, and my 50 Goals. Just a little thought because I think I’ll relax today. Everything on the to-do list can wait a day while I enjoy a walk in the snow, a warm-up by the fire, cuddles and conversations with my husband, play with the cats, and absorption in a good book. Not all at once, of course. All things in moderation, as they say. I’ll spread it throughout the day.
I can’t think of a better way to spend the first day of a new year than by doing some of what I enjoy best.
Anyway. I stopped by to say Happy New Year and to wish you all the best in 2009. I hope it brings you love, laughter, adventure and magic.
Plenty more from me to come in 2009….

Happy new year, Robin. Really love the quote, and your day today sounds perfect. Will you post your 50 goals, or are those for your eyes only?
Hey, is that a pic of you? I saw a meme going around with photos of folks.
Happy New Year! I love the photo of the photog. And we all just keep walking on down that road, don’t we? Step by step…
Ybonesy: Yep, that would be me there at the end. I didn’t know about the meme, but maybe I’ll go find it since it seems I may have accidentally participated.
I don’t think I’ll post the list. Instead, you’ll likely hear about it when I accomplish something on the list. 🙂
Bo: That we do, Bo. That we do. Thanks. 🙂
Happy New Year partner…
We’ll have to have a self-portrait shoot out one day… 😉

All good wishes for 2009, I look forward to seeing your journey here.
Thanks, UHDD. 🙂
R(etc… ): I dunno about that… I don’t think I could stand to see too many photos of myself. lol!
Robin: Happy New Year. I believe good things are ahead for all of us. I should really make a list of 2009 Goals, maybe then I wouldn’t flounder so much.
Thanks, Stevo. I hope all it’s true that good things are ahead for all of us.
As for lists of Goals, well… sometimes they help. And sometimes they’re overrated. For me, the thing is to have something to aim towards. Whether I make it or not doesn’t matter so much since I figure life is about progress and not perfection.
I’m taking it easy today, too. I actually haven’t left the house in almost a week. Today my daughter is picking me up so I can go out for a little while (and probably because she needs me to buy her groceries).
I hope to see a part of your wonderful 2009 in your blog! I know it will be a great year for you!
Lovely quote for the new year, hope yours is happy and healthy Robin:)

Thank you so much, Kel. I feel my life is richer for having met you in blogland, too. 😀
What a terrific quote!! Perfect….

Have a great year. N.M.
Happy New Year, Robin the Great~!
