Anticipation

I had to share this photo with you. Papacrow took it, on Dot's birthday. Here she is, waiting to blow her candles out -


It's just perfect, isn't it? The gaze upwards, the smile, the clasped hands... *sigh*

This is how I want to go into 2012. This how I want to great each day! I'm mindful that not every day, not everything will live up to our expectations... But I want to go forth with joyful anticipation, like this, every day.

That face! *swoons* You've got it nailed, Mamacrow. I love the idea of facing each day that way.

Happy New Year!

(you were in a dream I had last night - I left a brief description in the comments at Ellie's that you might enjoy reading)

(Oh right, she's probably at the monastery. My bad!)

Dream highlights: you and I were both there for her wedding. After the wedding, there were huge huge rooms of her house where swimming pools took up the middle of the space. You and I were swimming / walking / hopping laps across the pool and talking. Later, you got out and your daughter (aged somewhere in the 10 year old range) hopped in to race.

I remember seeing at least three of the crowlets specifically and I got the sense that they were the younger of your brood some years in the future.

So. there's that. Crows and swimming pools.
