Some Snowy Pics of the New Year

It's a new year, and a time for new beginnings. I've learned lots of lessons in 2007, and have even reclaimed control of my life in a way I would never have imagined ten years ago. 2007 was a year of doors opening. I'm hoping 2008 will be the gateway to new paths and new adventures of personal development and spiritual awakenings. And, of course, a healthy romance or two! (Did you note the "healthy" part???)

I've spent the last two weeks sick as a dog. Today is the first day I've felt good in a long time, physically and emotionally. In fact, I'm feeling nearly inspired. Isn't that a great way to start off the New Year? Inspired? Perhaps I'll soon feel energetic enough to start writing again. Wow. Imagine that... To bad NaNoWriMo is already past...

My son is spending the holidays with his father in Germany. He's been gone about 10 days, now, and I miss him terribly. He's due back in Chicago on Friday, and supposed be back in my care on Saturday. Hopefully that will happen without incident.

It's recently snowed a lot, and I snapped these photos of our backyard and sent them to my wonderful love bug of a son in an email a few minutes ago. As beautiful as Germany is, I'm so happy to be back home in the States for good.
