Happy New Year

Posted on January 1, 2013 by Mike

A belated Happy New Year to all of you. One day I will write about the joy and discovery I have found from blogging and what your comments and thoughts mean to me. I also marvel at how skilled and creative this blogging community is, and I am continually inspired. Joy, peace, and laughter are my wishes for all of you. Thank you.

I’ve never been a good kite flyer. I’ve always been amazed how well they fly once aloft.
Have a Happy New Year!

  When I start wearing a scarf I should be lucky enough to lose it. And would have been a 30 ft scarf although there is no perspective, so I have to tell you that.
  Thanks for your nice words. So you are going to be nice to me this year?

  Well Pumpkin wants you to hug her, and so do I. Judy could manage it too, but with a different level of enthusiasm than me.
  Hugs right back to you and continued joy this new year.
