a new year

We will open the book. It's pages are blank.
 We are going to put words on them ourselves.
 The book is called Opportunity and
 it's first chapter is New Year's Day.
~Edith Lovejoy Pierce

 A new year...a fresh beginning. I love the idea of viewing the year ahead as an unwritten book, don't you? Happiest wishes to you and your family in 2011.
