We brought in the New Year with a gathering of friends. A former student and her husband have a beautiful home on the edges of Tiny Town, and they host a card party for their friends of varying ages. (In fact, I think the gathering included couples from 20-60.) It is a lot of fun to see some people that we don't get to visit with very often. It was such an eclectic group, that it was quite fun and such a nice evening.
As I was dragging around this morning, the Mr.'s little brother called and said he and his wife were headed to U town. They wanted to know if we wanted to join them for lunch. I yanked the hair into a pony tail, and we met up with them. It was a nice way to spend part of New Year's Day.
I spent the afternoon pulling down and storing the Christmas decorations. The house isn't totally back to normal yet, but it is getting closer.
Tomorrow is the last day of break. I can't believe it has gone so fast.
I don't know that I have resolutions in the New Year, but I am promising myself to slow down and take life at a more leisurely pace. The years seem like they are going so fast-- and going at break-neck pace only adds to that.
"One must learn a different... sense of time--one that depends more on small amounts rather than big ones."
And that is my plan for 2012. Snail's pace. (Soooo not my nature! This is going to require work!)
