Aren't we lucky? A re-do on a whole year. Stellar! 2008! I know this will be  a great year. Look at the start! The whole world is white here. I have watched the snow come down for hours and it seems the perfect start to this year. A clean white slate,now what to put on it? Haaa,haaa some old habits are staying. I was up early and I did take great delight in watching the hawk. The bunny was by and stopped to check dogs bowl,I wonder if he's getting enough to eat? I hate to encourage more use of this yard as he has single handedly stripped all of our plants but I think I'll sneak him some eats!!! I have a house full with a few extras. People sleeping from their night out. What a crazy way to start a New Year,instead of being up to greet it and be happy they are all tired and sleeping! Today is my daughter's birthday,a New Years Baby many moons ago. But I still remember it. I made a big fluffy chocolate cake and came up with the yummiest icing to date!  It was finished just before midnight.

I have high hopes for this year. I have high hopes for the lives of a lot of people that have been having a rough time. I have high hopes for the problems working out and a lot of headway being made. Sometimes situations have to be walked away from for the persons own good,sometimes it takes tragic events to change a view point. I wish for everyone that what ever burden affects their being that it be lessened and heard. Sometimes just seeing something from an other point of understanding is neccessary. To all those so burdened I hope 2008 shows you some resolution for life is too short to not deal with all of your heart on things that are close to your heart! Hugs to all from me sitting watching the snow pile higher! Lovely!
