auld lang syne really means...

this year on NYE we actually had all 5 in the car for enough time to share our resolve and get into what we thought 2012 would help us accomplish...
 (not in any order they follow)
 good grades
acceptance into the college of my heart
learn german-not just liquid courage german-really speaking
improve my vocabulary
be a better role model

pretty lofty for casa h!

however everyone had something to say and given that for the past few years there have been
lists
suggestions
attitudes
heartbreak
disaster
joy
unexpected surprise
the absence of silence when we went around the car, i took as, a good sign

 it's funny to me how the change from one year to the next can provide
comfort and expectation
all at once
newness must do that-
re-charge our inner battery just enough for hope to float to the surface
come January 1st.

 shaking bad habits
dusting yourself off when you're down
coming back for more-day in...day out
commitment = the work of life

without hope stashed somewhere in the mix all you have is pressure

 like i said before...no more balls in the air this year no more pressure
2012: you're heeeere, and in my head and in my heart, hope floats
time to get started on that role model stuff.

 umarmen und lieben
essie
