Cast, Cheer

There's a prayer from the Episcopal tradition that asks for forgiveness not only for things poorly done, but also for things that have been left undone. For me, it's a reminder that neglect, disregard can be just as nasty as more proactive naughties. In that spirit, I am taking the week to meditate on those things I want to do before the next year has whistled, whispered by; to plan the things I don't want to have left undone. I will also be cleaning out my disgusting silverware drawer.

Tonight, I will drink bubbles with a friend, and eat melty cheese, and cast yarn on needles and wishes out into the cold night.
This week, I will work on casting wishes onto some other kind of needle, weaving some other kind of cloth.

A very happy new year to you. I wish you giggles and cheer, smooches and drinks and maybe a single midnight tear.
