in/re/pre-spire


Life is one long process of getting tired. 
~Samuel Butler

Despite a healthy/balanced diet and regular exercise, exhaustion seems to be the theme of my current life.  And yes, I realize that I've introduced upheaval into my life by a major move and job changing.  But for today, I want a long winter's nap.
 
 
In the Bahamas, preferably.

2012


sunset of 2011


and not sure this can be called the dawning of anything.

But!  Unless the Mayans wipe us out, this year brings me health insurance, a full-time paycheque and the opportunity to buy my first home.   Here's hoping the year delivers on it's potential.

it's New Year's Eve...


and hopes are high,
dance one year in,
kiss one good-bye
another chance, another start,
so many dreams to tease the heart

~from Sunset Boulevard, A.L. Webber


Cheery chives on the sunny meander yesterday.


 A beach wander seemed a good way to say good riddance to this year, so one last 2011 visit to Point No Point Lighthouse.



Gorgeous vista.

where's There?


One keeps itching to get there. Where? Never mind
where; one gets there at last, and does not come back
again to tell anyone else where
or how, or what it is like there.

One drives internal combustion vehicles
or one walks, or one rockets across the sky.
Restlessness is the ness one goes by.
It infallibly takes one there.

Here's to the new paths of 2012.
