The Last Day of the Year

A beautiful, crisp, clear, cold winter’s day here in Dundas, Ontario.  For lovers of winter, this is a perfect winter’s day.  I’m more a “liker” of winter.  But today is a shiny, bright punctuation point for the run-on sentence that was 2008.

I’m just in the door from snow shovelling and was compelled to grab my camera and take a photo of the day.  This is a view from my backyard.  The Green Man doesn’t look any happier with a whomp of snow on his head, and there wasn’t a golfer in sight on the course .  But the sun is radiant.  And that’s the kind of New Year I wish you all: all radiance, all the time! 

With that, a Gaelic proverb for your consideration:

Is fheàrr teine beag a gharas na teine mòr a loisgeas.
(The little fire that warms is better than the big fire that burns.)

Happy New Year!
