In reply to Couscous & Consciousness. You are so right Sue about giving yourself permission to let go of disappointments of the past and look forward to new opportunities. It is easier said than done sometimes but nevertheless a good thing to do. Hope 2013 brings all you wish for and more.

I love the feeling at this time of year – the relief of being able to let the old year go and move on, coupled with looking forward to the new year with joyful anticipation. I try to make the most of it before the first flush of disappointments begin to set in, which this year I intend to focus on as being opportunities rather than disappointments.

Happy New Year to you, Julie – hope it’s a good one.

In reply to Alli. I do miss the "real bread" but for now we must keep on track with the regime. As a special treat we are now making spelt pizza and I so want to try a spelt loaf soon.

That’s a grand looking loaf and a great way to start the year! Nothing beats bread baking not even my choclate cake :0)

In reply to Sabrina.

Hi Sabrina – I’ve come to learn there is no point looking back with wistful regret. I don’t know why I feel so optimistic for 2013 so I’m just going to go with the flow and see what happens. Have a few fun things planned already for the year so looking forward to that. Hope that this year brings you continued success with the Rear Curtain and your other photographic adventures.

In reply to Liz. Happy New Year to you too Liz. Hope you didn't scare yourself into the new year with those movies. I love the fact that NZ sees New Year first. We can the follow everyone else's celebrations at they happen.

Great outlook for 2013. I have yet to allow myself a moment to ‘think’ about it too much – perhaps I’m better going with the flow anyway.

All your trips and travels this year have been wonderful. Wishing you a very happy & healthy 2013 xxx

I love your perspective! Despite how the past year may not have always followed the path we may have wished for ourselves, we can still declare with gusto what was good and that our hopes for 2013 are buoyed by eternal optimism. I like to think for you, it has something to do with the baking or maybe the bassets 😉 Happy New Year!

“Or perhaps itâ€™s just a to do list that is wildly ambitious and wishful thinking.” LOL yeah, that’s me!! I just put a decal on the back of my car, it was still in the original envelope in which it arrived. I check the postal date on said envelope, it was dated Nov. 12 2011 LOL that’s how long it’s been sitting around, waiting for me to plaster it to the back of my van!! I’m the queen of procrastination!!
Odd that you’ve already woken to a new year and I have yet to celebrate mine, which will be done with a few scary movies and perhaps a solitary drink.. I hope the new year loosens up that creative constipation, that must be an awful feeling 😉 Look for inspiration around you, the garden, the home, that scrumptious bread and of course those 2 hounds!!
Happy New Year!!
