A Belated Auld Lang Syne

I recently wished my aunt Happy Birthday and her best year yet.  She responded, "2014 has a nice ring to it, don't you think?"

Yes, I do.

2013 was an eventful year.  A very eventful, exciting year...and a kind of sad and stressful one, too.  A year that I wasn't necessarily happy or sad was over.  (Maybe I'm waxing apathetic in my old age.) 

But I always get excited about starting something over, especially the New Year.  I think it's because really like the concept of goal setting, and anticipation of the unknown, and repentance in the sense of having a fresh outlook and chance on the everyday things.  And maybe because I really like buying calendar books.  Especially like the ones I bought this year.

But, 2014.

It seems to hold a fair amount of promise and intrigue on its outset...with maybe a twinge of aprehension.  But it definitely has a nice ring to it.  And we'll drink [some Martinelli's] to that.



So, to 2014 and beyond!
