Happy 2013
The end of 2012
Yesterday the sun set on 2012. Today, it rose on 2013. Like yesterday, it’s a blustery winter day, brilliant sunshine glaring on fresh snow alternating with gray clouds.
The new year always gives a sense of new beginnings. Since I’m a pagan, I already celebrated one new year at Samhain, and I reassess my life with each cross-quarter day. But since I’m prone to what most of the world calls Seasonal Affective Disorder and I call a perfectly natural desire to hibernate, or as close to it as possible, in the dark times of the year (think about it–in a society without electric lights and central heating, the rhythm of your days would be different in winter than during the rest of the year), I like this opportunity to focus on the positive points of last year and how this coming year can be better yet.
Later today I hope to post with specifics. But right now, I’m going to look up where and when The Hobbit is playing. One of my goals this year is to not get so wrapped up in work that I neglect to do fun things with my beloved.
