I’m not big on New Year celebrations, but 2009 is a year I will happily bid farewell. It has been a year of horror, but in that also lays new beginnings. It has been a year of moments that has changed our lives and who we are. It has been a year of bright spots of pure happiness and hope for the future. It has been a year of building a new health from rock bottom to bursting with energy. It has been a year of joyful times with family and making new friends. It has been a year of life.I always get a bit blue after Christmas; after the family has left and husband’s back to work, so I do what I always do – quilt the blues away. Normally the Christmas decorations would go tomorrow morning, but I think I want to keep them for a little while longer; I have not really had the time to enjoy them, and the tree does serve a purpose – I can dance around my living room without people lining up outside to watch.
So, with these little guys (yes, they are teeny tiny, and I have hand sewn them using felt during another post-Christmas-blues), I’ll say Takk for det gamle, which means Thanks for the old, and is what we say to each other at the end of the year here.
