Gleam of ice, and glint of steel,
Jolly, snappy weather;
Glide on ice and joy of zeal,
All, alone, together.
Fickle Spring! Who can imprint her?
Faithless while she's captivating;
Here's to trusty Madame Winter.
O
You
Skating!

Today is the 10th Anniversary of our Engagement. :)
Last night, we went ice skating. Wish there was a river to skate away on, but none are even frozen in this lack of Winter.
Sarah went off to spend the night with her friend and Jim and I watched Midnight in Paris, which thoroughly captivated me. The storyline about a young couple forced to confront the illusion that a life different from their own might be better, and the recognition that the "golden age of yesteryear" is actually the age we're living in right now, could have been written entirely for me. It has all the elements of the way I have always thought about life.
Tonight, we'll figuratively skate into the new year. Changes are on the horizon in many forms.
This blog, while it might survive existence, will take on a new much-leaner form.
However you choose to usher in the New Year, hope it's safe and joyous. Life is far too short to be caught up in past regrets. Embrace those you love tonight and think only on the present joy.
Another year passes on in the blink of an eye.

Looks like great fun. We were asleep at 10:00! :o) Here's to another year of writing. I'm working on my blog book now...from 2010. I'm a little behind. :o)
Your pictures are lovely. I hope the rest of your evening was nice too.
Happy New Year my friend. It will be many changes for all of us.
Hmmm, this blog BETTER survive, I'd miss you too much:-) I'm glad to see that Jim is a true Canadian because he can skate!! hehe I swear I spent my whole childhood skating during the winter months. Dad would always make us a rink in the backyard and I would skate round and round until my brothers would shoo me off so that they could play hockey! Oftentimes even the side streets in our area were frozen so we'd skate on them too:-) I'm so glad you guys had such a wonderful time skating, makes me want to go find my skates. They've been put away much too long!! xoxo
