Watching The New Year Begin

1 Watching The New Year Begin

Here is wishing everyone a happy 2016. I hope your year is full of joy and prosperity, health and good cheer. Thank you for stopping by this little space of mine; I really have enjoyed sharing my Second Life with you and getting to know those of you who have struck up a conversation on your visits.

I usually do a “year in review” post about this time, but instead, this year instead of an evaluation of the past, I’m going to focus on watching the new year begin.

I hope to see you looking back.

Contemplation

1 Contemplation

I am not making any new year resolutions. I haven’t in several years. If I need to make a change in my life, I will do it when I am motivated personally; not by the turning of the calendar page.

That doesn’t stop me from taking some time for contemplation. I have a couple of weeks off work, so the downtime is conducive to evaluation. Through the rest of the year, I’ve rarely had more than a long weekend, so some quiet time is nice. It also allows me to think about more than just commuting, working and preparing for the next work week.

I am only four days in, and already I am feeling a bit at loose ends. The flurry of holiday prep and deadlines are over, as is the latest flurry of blogging commitments I have had. It is a bit of a luxury to be able to do whatever I choose to do without a sense of obligation, in both worlds.

A Crazy Cat Lady Christmas

1 Crazy Cat Lady Christmas sm

What can I say? I would probably be a Crazy Cat Lady if my one little darling wasn’t such a princess who shows disdain for any other feline. But that didn’t stop me from loading up on these precious creatures to decorate my Second Life home. In case you are one of the two or three people who haven’t yet seen them, they are from Jian at The Winter Gacha Festival. Look at that little sweetie digging her claws into my new boots from fri.day! And that tiny imp peeping at me from around the corner of the fireplace from Nefarious Invention. I guess it’s only fitting that two of the wee creatures are trying to enjoy milk and breakfast from Jian (although the delicious food items are available at Wayward Market).

All in all, I think my Christmas will be merry with the meowing and purring of my newest little friends 🙂
