Hela, heba helloa!

here she comes, just around the corner.

a shiny new year full of possibility!

a new beginning. a fresh start.

could anything be more wonderful?

clean. white. blank. clear of mistakes but full of unlimited potential.

like a clean slate or a fresh page on an unused notebook.

and that first stroke of a blue fine tipped pen doesn't ruin it but makes it better.

a list waiting to be checked.

duties waiting to be performed.

i love the new.

so much so that all my christmas gifts are still in their packages.

retaining that new-never-been-used feeling.

i know there is something to be said for old & used things too

{comfort, memories, nostalgia}

but right now i am just so excited about the new.

i'll reminisce about the old tomorrow.

today it's all about 2010!

and for the first time i truly have not even a clue as to what she will hold.

not for us as a couple, and certainly not for me as an individual.

so i am celebrating the hope of something great.

and the promise of something different.

and the potential for big change.

'cause i love change like i love new.

and i am happy to welcome her {2010} tonight from the comforts of our living room.

hello new & exciting year of 2010.

and a fond goodbye to 2009.
