Welcome to 2013! I’m not doing a summary of last year or a bunch of resolutions. I just know that this coming year, I want to grow in love, in creativity, in new travel adventures, in peace, in kindness, and in spirit. I wish all the same for all of you.
Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Quote of the day: “I wish you could have been there for the sun & the rain & the long, hard hills. For the sound of a thousand conversations scattered along the road. For the people laughing & crying & remembering at the end. But, mainly, I wish you could have been there.” – Brian Andreas

Quote of the day: “I have learned over a period of time to be almost unconsciously grateful–as a child is–for a sunny day, blue water, flowers in a vase, a tree turning red. I have learned to be glad at dawn and when the sky is dark. Only children and a few spiritually evolved people are born to feel gratitude as naturally as they breathe, without even thinking. Most of us come to it step by painful step, to discover that gratitude is a form of acceptance.” – Faith Baldwin

I don’t know what kind of berries these are – only what kind they are not (a.k.a. cranberries, holly). Perhaps one of you know? At any rate, they are a lovely and lasting reflection of the holiday season.

Quote of the day: “Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude.” – Denis Waitley

I miss cabooses on trains, especially little red cabooses. When I was a child and we were fortunate enough to be at the front of a railroad crossing when a freight train came through, we would always wave at the man on the caboose and the man would always wave back. This cheerful little Christmas caboose stirred up some nice memories, even as MKL and I made new ones.
Santa Fe, New Mexico.

It was warm the weekend we were in Santa Fe, and we’ve had teasers of spring even today. A mourning dove was cooing outside the kitchen window this morning, and there was a fly buzzing around outside the Smiling Moose yesterday – both encouraging signs.
