The new year lies empty
before us. Fresh. New.
No crowds, no fuss, just clean emptiness waiting for adventure and
dreams to fill the spaces…to fill the corners.
We finished off the last
of the old year with inner things…peace, serenity, acceptance…all those good
ways to start out a new year. We saw a
lot of old and new friends while we were busy this weekend. Sometimes these little bits of life are a
blessing that carry on a long time.
We dressed down for Sunday’s
meeting. That may mean nothing to you,
but to us it was a wonderful relaxation.
We no longer have jobs there that need fancy clothes. We did rouse ourselves from the holiday
lethargy to work at the San Diego Automotive Show. We chased kids away from the ropes, and I referred
all car questions to the great George.
He knew all the answers. By the
end of the day I knew the names of most of the cars.
Today it’s back to work
for both of us. I’m off to the shop to
help with the yearly inventory. Yes,
every item is counted. George is back to
the gym and to regular hours at work, as far as we know. The pinks in the sky are fading, and I
welcome the new year clean from the showers.
We were sure glad you could help out with the car show!
ReplyDeleteso that's what the convention center looks like when it's empty? I've only been there during Comic Con. :: shudder :: LOL
ReplyDeleteI too felt very grateful for a new day to be here. Our kids are on their way to visit for the rest of the week, our last week before we return to normal schedules and routines.
ReplyDeleteYes, I do like beginnings when I can pretend to be a better me. Reading Far from the Madding Crowd because I never read it. Thinking about getting a new PC to better work with photos and a new graphics card. Wishing George was here. I have so many questions. All alone until the 14th or 15th and spending time organizing closets, etc.
ReplyDeleteI love the way you describe the year which "lies empty." It puts the onus on us to make it what it will be! Great description! I hope you can fill your year with your favourite things!
ReplyDeleteAlways upbeat. I love visiting you.
