Happy New Year!

The year is coming to an end and once again we get to that point in the year where we invevitably reevaluate our lives and make plans for the future. And, as usual,  I couldn't help but think of this poem. It says it all. Any mistakes are the translator's fault.

You have the soul of an artist! I friended you today to ensure that I get to read all your posts. I noticed the lovely gifts you placed in the Stuff my stocking post at No Takebacks. You were so generous with us all! I of course loved the pics of Kara and Lee kissing, and I really adored your gift to Tara of Happy!pilots.

The poem today is gorgeous. I am drunk on the imagery, which is among the very best types of inebriation.

Blessings to you!

*mwah*

You're such a darling! Thanks for your nice words. You're way too kind. Please don't get too excited about reading my posts, though. This was my first one. I have no idea when there will be another. *shrugs*
Have a lovely new year!
