New Year

Happy New Year!

I don't know about you, but I really enjoy that "fresh start" feeling that comes with the beginning of each new year. It is a hopeful time when so much seems possible.

Last year was a busy one for me, filled with many ups (getting married!) and downs (ongoing job struggle!), and I feel that my blog often reflected my mood, with sprinklings of food photos, etc. My goal for this blog in 2014 is to offer more than my day-to-day moods and ramblings; I hope to be able to share my interactions with the world in a more structured way.

For instance, I plan to:

• Dig more deeply into my poetry collection and share more poems again
• Continue to share recipes and food photos, because hey - I'm a foodie
• Try to write more comprehensive "reviews" for books, movies, new records, etc.
• Share more photos that I take day-to-day on walks, etc.

I started 2014 off right this morning - a great breakfast with a book (SB was sleeping in).

Also, enjoy the video below of a New Orleans band that I heard on the radio a few weeks ago. I really love the singer's voice.
