Don't Sing Them Blues

For me, I always feel a bit melancholy, this time of year. 

As do many of you.  We ring out the old and say hello to the new.

I wish you all happiness,  joy and love in this new year.

Enjoy your New Year's Eve and I'll see you next year!

Of course we'll be doing new winter projects to carry us over until spring arrives again!

I can relate to Pat Conroy when he said, 
"I hungered for beauty and those realms 
of pure elation granted to those who had the 

imagination to know what to look for and how to find it."

Write it on your heart (and in your smile)
that every day is the best day in the year.
Hope smiles from the threshold of the year to come,
whispering, 'It will be happy!'
Ralph Waldo Emerson,
Alfred Lord Tennyson
and me

Life is short, Break the Rules.
Forgive quickly. Kiss Slowly.
Love truly. Laugh uncontrollably
And never regret ANYTHING.
Especially that which makes you smile.
Mark Twain

"The only journey is the one within."

Rainer Maria Rilke

A quick word about critters

for SATURDAY'S CRITTERS

and the ones close to our hearts.

We laugh, lay and play with them.

We let them help with the wrappings.

They stand a watchful eye over our Lego productions.

They are the world's best greeters ever!

And now we welcome the new year.

Full of things that have never been.

Rainer Maria Rilke

Dear friends,

"Let life happen to you.

Believe me:

Life is in the right,

always."

Rainer Maria Rilke

Take good care of you-

Happy New Year!
