It's a brand new year...
and yet, it is silly ole me grinning back at myself from the mirror between us. Same wrinkles, same independent hair and same elfish ears. The fact that I am grinning makes me feel like I got the joke. Maybe the mirror needs a scrub though.
This morning I found a wonderful quote in my inbox:
"We spend January 1 walking through our lives, room by room, drawing up a list of work to be done, cracks to be patched. Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives... not looking for flaws, but for potential."
~ Ellen Goodman
With that in mind, I went through my favorite pictures of last year and found one that I think reflects just that sentiment...in blurry pixels, of course.
Sometimes it is good to remember how small you are, which should never keep you from climbing.

Happy New Year, penguin. The mountains look small above you. Maybe its the pony tail.
Happy New Year...I hope all your wishes come true in 2008. Great photo...I feel I have seen it before.
Happy New Year dear Minka! May it be nothing short of beautiful...
Doug, it´s my egocentric thinking that makes nature look small and climbable :) Happy New Year, big guy!
Móa, yes you have seen it before. And all the best to you in 2008!
Miz B: Gledilegt nytt ar. May it bring peace of mind, body and soul to all of us.
actonbell, thank you. I hope a great year is ahead of you!
Happy New Year & Rabbit, Rabbit... dearest Penguin!
beautiful picture of a beautiful girl -- thinking that quote you shared is rather perfect for the occasion, too!
despite a potentially rocky start (nothing like spening hours upon hours trying to sleep in an airport, eh?) 2008 promises to be nothing short of spectacular! ; ) xox
I love the sentiment!
Happy New Year, Penguin dear.
Scuse me now while I go find something to climb.
neva, 2008 holds promises I never dared to believe in. It´s gonna be a grand year. I can feel it!
logo, thank you my dear and of the bloggers I know better, you were never one that was afraid of climbing to begin with. May life continue to be a blast!
New Years are nice, but sometimes I feel like I got a hand-me-down.
Great photo. Great sentiment.
Happy New Year, Minka. Keep climbing.
Tom and Icy, every year has about the same amount of days...it's what we make of them that defines a year ;)
quilly, I will as long as my heart is strong and my muscles contract...I'll face the mountains in my path!
Happy New Year Minka! We had mexican food last night...sorry you weren't here to enjoy.
Happy New Year Monika. I hope 2008 is filled with joy and passion.
I wish you a very Happy New Year, Penguin. Lovely picture.
Joel, typical. I go away and you put Mexican food on the table. You sure don't share well. Just tell me one thing...was there sour cream?!
Brian, same to you and Diane.
