Came the moment and I went down and opened the front door to let the old year out and the new year in.
I’d been upstairs awhile fiddling with and reading my NaNoWriMo story and enjoying it while watching the last hour of the year tick by. I’d gone down and gotten my little plate of snack stuff earlier but hadn’t nibbled too much when the clock struck midnight.
So I went down and opened the door and then stepped outside. There had been a lot of local fireworks earlier but now it was still and quite cold. The half-or-so moon was up there, shining down through a light layer of clouds, along with some brighter stars. I stood in the cold and quiet and a little wind came up and rustled the leaves in the yard. I looked at the shadows on the lawn and then up at the moon and said my happy new year to the world.
Then it was back to the relative warmth of the house and the definite warmth of my bed where two cats waited for me. Molly marched right up and nosed her way under the covers. Razzie wandered off after a few minutes but he’ll be back. I poured a little port into a glass and had a nibble of cheese and came here to wish you, all my dear readers, a very happy, healthy new year filled with just enough fun and adventure to keep it interesting.
Looks like your year will hold adventure. Good dreams and happy times.
Have a healthy happy year. Love Mom
