"And now let us welcome the New Year, full of things that have never been." --Rilke
I just love that quote. It exactly matches the way I feel about 2010. It makes me think of the wonders that are to come. The contentment that I will feel when I spend time with my husband and kids, the people I love the most in the whole world; the special spark I will feel on 2010's holidays (often so full of magic for me); the beauty of the seasons as they burst upon us; and the certain happiness I will feel knowing that ALL of my children finally share the same continent with me.
I wish that I could be like Janus, the Roman god...not having two faces, but his mythical ability to see both into the past and into the future. Though I like surprises, I would also like to have a glimpse into what is yet to be. Would I like what I see? That is the danger, isn't it?
Here's to a Happy, Happy New Year and a wonderful decade!
I am darker than you and am ready to embrace the joys while knowing that there may be some sorrows to deal with. "Into each life, some rain must fall." Hopefully, just sprinkles. :) Happy New Year.
