...and so we are almost on the other side

2009 is almost finished and a new year is upon us. I could not let my blog sit without that final note and the chance to wish you all a wonderful 2010. I hope for great adventures, happiness, good health and opportunity for all of us.

I have been simply relaxing during the holidays - I did get outside to take some pictures, but mostly I just relaxed, browsed magazines, drank wine and ate lots of food. I have many resolutions for the next year - most of which are really only pertinent to me and hence would be somewhat boring to recite. One of my lighter resolutions is - do I give up eating so much cheese or just run another marathon - meh, I think the marathon will win out; cheese is just too good to pass up.

Happy New Year to you and yours! and yes, wishing you lots of cheese :^)
It's the walnuts,almonds,pecans, etc that get me.

The photos are lovely, but the first is just breath-taking. So ethereal.

I love warm, quiet, gentle and relaxing times during the holidays. So far, so good.

Happy New Year Raina. Here's to a year with lots of opportunities to knit and plenty of cheese (though without the running in my case!)

Happy New Year, Raina - having just lost 11 pounds - that is 11 CHEESE-less pounds - I'm thinking that the marathon is the option because the doing without cheese is soooooo hard!!!!! ;o) Judy

Happy New Year! Even to a couch potato like me, running a marathon sounds like a better proposition than giving up cheese! Hope the training goes well this year.
