all that is past...

Another year has come to its end. In my mind I have always visualised each passing year in a sort of linear, tabular form... so that as one year ends, the eye of my mind is required to forcibly lift itself up from the bottom right hand corner, where the December days are dark and worn, and move up, along and over, to the top left, to January: to a place of gradually increasing light... a new page, a clean beginning, a fresh start. This year, I am so ready for that new page. It has been a challenging and frustrating twelve months. Pleasures and achievements have been small but intense... some of them are illustrated here.

My wish for us all this new year is light, laughter, peace, happy memories, creativity, fun, health, good times, lovely surprises, warm weather, and friendship. All the way through to the end.

And a Happy New Year to you too! Love the photos - my year is linear, but goes up and down, - up being summer, down being winter.

But at least we are on the climb up now. And the days are getting slowly lighter. Can only be good!

Cheers to that! I've got my fingers crossed for a more peaceful and happy year to come too.

Your blog is just lovely and soothing and makes me stop and take a breath each time I stop by, thank you for that.

Beautiful mosaics and love the words you have used for your new year wishes - let's hope we all have at least some of those things during the next twelve months.

Best wishes for 2011 to you and yours.

beautiful colours - Happy New 2011, Mouse - may all your creative and life dreams come true for you in the way you would like. Caireen x

Jane said...

Amen to that, Sue. I'm willing myself a better year this year - well it's worth a try :-)

Frances said...

Sue, many of your reflections on what is now last year ring true to me, also.

Last week, I saw the latest Mike Leigh film, Another Year. Perhaps it's a good movie to see just now.

I am not making any big resolutions, but have already started thinking about things I would like to do this year (not quite the same as things to "accomplish.")

It will be fun to check in with each other at the new months appear and share some news.

Happy New Year to you and yours, I hope your dreams come true.

I have just packed away my little Christmas star/wreath for another year. I look forward to seeing what you create in this new decade.

May all your wishes for 2011 come true!

Your wishes are my wishes, too. Last year was very hard for me, with some small exceptions and bright moments to remember. So I was eager for the new beginning to come, too! I pray so much for health, luck and quiet days!
Have a wonderful New Year, Sue, full of beauty, love and inspiration!
