Wow! An Owl perched within view? I'd say that's a good omen for a better new year, wouldn't you?
I'm passing up an invitation I received to attend a blow-out party tonight (complete with live music,) to stay off the icy roads and home with my own bottle of bubbly.
What are your plans? Got Resolutions? I don't. Never understood how a commitment made for New Year's is somehow more "important" than ones made at other times of the year, so why bother?
Whatever plans and Resolutions are made, I hope they all work out for the best for all of us. Happy New Year!
