Happy New Year

The New Year has dawned with bright sunshine, a real treat after the past few days, yesterday being one of the rainiest I can recall, round here anyway.  The world has a hopeful feel to it, which is nice, and soon I shall go out for a walk I think.  I love the following poster which a Facebook friend posted, and I'm happy to make this my wish too:

The rest of the week will be quite busy, so I shall make the most of today.  I have made a few resolutions, some of which, no surprise, involve chocolate and cakes.  One firm resolution, though, is to take good care of myself and of those dear to me, and to make the time to rest and to relax.  All the busy things we do depend on our getting this bit right!
