The Year is Complete!

Please feel free to look back through the 365 days of 2010 sunrises, but "a year of getting up to meet the day" is officially completed. There will be no more new posts.

PLEASE JOIN ME FOR MORE SUNRISE POSTS AT THE SUNRISE BLOGGER, WHERE YOU WILL FIND SUNRISE PHOTOS AND REFLECTIONS FROM ME AND FROM CONTRIBUTORS AROUND THE GLOBE.


Thank you so much for visiting.
A one year blog project in which I share a process of transitions: emptying of the nest, reacquainting with my rusty intellect, plowing onward with my first full length book, entering the second half of my first century, and generally reflecting on life.

ring out, wild bells

A tip of the hat to Alfred Lord Tennyson. Ring out the old, ring in the new. Whether it is a human construct or not, the opportunity to leave old burdens behind and start afresh is a gift.

It is very possible that I, in my house whose population has dwindled to two (plus dogs) this evening, will not ring in the new year at midnight, but at the first light of the new year. There is so much sense in this. Take a look at this link to an article by Simon Winchester about New Year traditions. Great food for thought.

Here is a toast to high hopes for 2010.
