magic, dreams and lots of good madness.

“May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. 

I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you're wonderful, 

and don't forget to make some art -- 

write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. 

And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself.”
― Neil Gaiman

 I have really never been happier or more surprised than I was yesterday. 

A joy that is too hard to ascribe feelings to in the form of those simple lines and curves 

that come together to make words...

I am so happy and thankful to be sharing this adventurous life with the man I am married to - 

there is no one else in the world that I would rather spend days like yesterday with than him. 

This is my very favorite time of year...

and it is proving to be even grander than I had ever hoped or planned

and that is what makes life especially beautiful - those unexpected gifts.
