Thursday Thirteen
Good things about the New Year (in no particular order)
1. It's a new year! A clean slate. You get to start all over.
2. Spring is around the corner (although with the weather this week you'd think it here already).
3. It could snow! And that will help with the drought.
4. It's a time for reflection on the past. Think about the good things.
5. It's a time for looking forward to the future. What do you expect? How will you make it happen?
6. You get to put a new date on your checks. No, not 1998...
7. Everything old is new again. What will be the fashion this year - retro 1968 ... or?
8. I have new clothes from Christmas to wear.
9. I have non-alcoholic cider in the refrigerator to drink still (left over from New Year's celebrating).
10 Hope for change in the political scene. A new face in the White House. New legislators.
11 I celebrate 25 years of marriage. A quarter century of being married to a wonderful man whom I love with everything I have.
12 I turn 45 this year! Almost a half-century of living. The things I have seen! The places I've been!
13 And the good things about this year for you????
A new year always brings a new hope to me, particularly when the one before has been rough. There's nothing rational about saying that because I get a new calendar everything will change, but all the same, it's a reminder that new life, change, IS possible. Thanks for sharing your list of joys in the new year.

It's the 10th now and the slate is filling up already. But I am encouraged that the days are growing longer and the light is returning a little each day.
