This morning I woke up very sad that my little work vacation is nearly over and sad that it is the new year already, because the last one is gone and because it is winter and not spring at all or even close to spring. For me the new year is always like this. I make good lists and clean and purge and just when I think I'm ready, I have to cry out because it is a little sad to have a whole year gone. So I shed tears and did breathing and thought about doing yoga but then remembered that there is chocolate cake downstairs with caramel frosting that someone I love brought to me. And that I have this little blog where pretty things can go, and that it might be good to write a little post about the tears that were shed this morning so I can remember them and remember the last year and things as they are right this minute with the sun streaming in the window and my grey walls and the house just like I like it and go forward, go forward, go forward and be thankful for fragile and ephemeral and true.
Now I am off to eat breakfast cake.
I'll be back Monday. xo
(Oops and I meant to take a picture of the cake and post it but then I ate it and forgot, so no pictures today.)

It's always like that for me as well. There were tears shed in my house today too, but sadly no chocolate cake.
It's hard to remember to take pictures of cake when all you want to do is eat it up. I always get sad right before the new year and then feel better once Jan. 1st hits.
Tears fell here also, what to do? We are emotional beings. With no chocolate cake in the dwelling, I opted for raw vegetables drenched in ranch dressing. Baby steps, I thought!
Breakfast cake makes things better, doesn't it? I need some breakfast cake.
