see you next year

All day I have been reflecting on this past year.
2013 has been robust:

{highs}
marked with wonder & excitement; beauty & adventure; laughter & togetherness; health & optimism; and


{lows}
burdened with grief & disappointment; uncertainty & loss; tears & separation; illness & depression.


Today I feel:
thankful to have made my way across life's terrain to this: the eve of a new year and
a sense of peace, knowing I am not alone in this journey.



I have no doubt the new year will be at least as treacherous and disquieting as the last but I maintain confidence 2014 will also bring with it a beauty and hope I cannot know until we get there. 

I look forward to the terrain ahead.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 
to you and yours!
