This New Year I wish you all the joy of...........
* always having someone to share things with*that sometimes, just sometimes, you can afford the thing you long for, rather than the thing that will do
*enough good memories to see you through the hard times
* seeing your luggage arriving first on the baggage carousel
* opening a well-remembered book....the soothing first page...the first familiar words
* seeing your luggage arriving first on the baggage carousel* receiving a letter from a friend whose address you've lost
* eating Ben & Jerry's in your pj's
* opening a well-remembered book....the soothing first page...the first familiar words* being the first to leave footprints in freshly fallen snow
* seeing someone's face light up at the sight of you
* sun-dried laundry
*letters that begin with the words "We are pleased to tell you that....."
* small sticky kisses
*a smile from a stranger
But most of all I wish that in 2012 there will always be something you want to learn, something you want to do, somewhere you want to go, someone you want to meet, and that whatever happens this year you continue to grow and find your bliss.
What's your one wish for yourself this year?
A beautiful post Van, perfect thoughts for January....I nodded & smiled my way through it.

I love this post and it's so inspirational, especially just the simple ones like a smile from a stranger. Sometimes that all it takes to cheer up someone...and the first one "always having someone to share with" is so nice. Great post Vanessa...and thanks so much for your sweet comment.
