As everyone in the blogging world churns out witty / touching / inspiring posts about the new year and what it has in store for them, their families, their friends, humankind, I shall instead divulge a most embarrassing secret as I sit huddled in bed listening to the washer rumble in the next room (see? Productivity! This bodes well!):
I downloaded the Sims on my iPad two days ago and have not since been able to stop planting onions, making the little Sims do the WooHoo, and baking croissants.
I'm so behind the times, I know.
Well. It being 2012 makes no difference to me (although the midnight champagne and kisses were very cute) because we live moment by moment and breath by breath (which is the way I regard every milestone) but every occasion is a reminder to celebrate life and love and a reminder that blessings are in store whether it is 2011, 2012, or decades down the road. I'm celebrating this very moment, right now, and it just happens to be the first day of 2012.
Cheers!

I close my eyes and imagine the dark hills I would have to cross / to reach you. For I am in love with you / and this is what it is like or what it is like in words.

When I grow up, I'd like to be a cream puff. A cream puff with apricots, or even a plain one. Lukewarm at the bakery. In the window.
