A NEW DAWN

Like every year, the sun sets and a new dawn emerges the next day.

And like every year there are people who repeat the same mistakes, some get enlightened and some well...just grow older! I grew older, and hopefully wiser. Since the hubby and I are "social cutlets" (like some uncharitable friends like to call us), we follow this gamut most New Year's eve. Unless we are travelling, the "other-half" and I change into our PJs and share a bottle of sparkling wine, wait till 12 (because that is when happily inebriated family and friends call), give each other a peck on the cheek, and snuggle into our warm duvets.

Life is sorted. We have lived together most of our lives, we know and accept each other's idiosyncrasies, have raised two wonderful human beings together, have a new munchkin in our lives, have "nutting" to prove, and I thought this was life! Just when one thinks that one has a handle on things, the universe sniggers.
