It's almost the first day of 2013. The end of the world came and went and my life, loves, challenges and successes didn't end. I feel that each day is a new beginning. Right now at this minute, I am here, you are here. If I close my eyes, I can see my daugter and her children stretched out all over my house, tired from a long bus ride, snow on my back step and animals braving the outside elements. It's quiet in the country, gives me much time to think and be grateful. Blessings to all :)
