First Day of the Year

What do I love about the first day of a new year? It’s a new beginning. A fresh start. Forget past problems and mistakes and take a new road. Read a good book by the fire. Treat yourself to eggnog and sherry. 

Take long walks with the dog and enjoy the solitude of the cold while others remain indoors. 

Cook a stew and root vegetables and inhale the heavenly scent that fills the house. 

I’m looking forward to the treats and joy that lie ahead.
