~ Hello 2009 ~

 
'To accomplish great things we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.' ~ Anatole France

As the clock struck 12 I was brushing my teeth, the sinus aches and pains making me want to be in bed, cosy and safe. As i slowly applied my neroli-scented night cream, i watched the fireworks exploding above Bath, red and green glittering plumes lighting up the night sky. And i thought to myself, yes, this is exactly where I am supposed to be... this house, this city, this time, right now.

I made some new desktop wallpaper* to welcome January into my workspace, and thought i'd share it here too - click on the link below for the correct size for your monitor, then drag the image onto your desktop and set it as your wallpaper manually (you can also do this by right-clicking [ctrl button for macs] and choosing 'Set as desktop background')

Small: 1024x768
Medium: 1280x1024
Large: 1600x1200
Extra wide: 1920x1200

I stayed up until midnight because I knew the fireworks would wake me if I went to bed earlier. We had quite a cacophony in the neighborhood so I made the right choice. Hello 2009! Welcome.

By the way...do you know about "neti pots"? Back channel me if you want to know. Feel better.

hello again ! as i was taking my calendar 11,8 x 11,8 inches down from my wall kitchen last night, i was thinking which images i would like to accompany me in 2009 and as i live by following my intuition, "unravelling" poped into my mind ... i went to your etsy shop but no calendar ... food for thought, susannah !!

Love the Anatole France quote and your photo (and I live on Blvd. Anatole France). Happy New Year, Sus! xo

Susannah thats a wonderful quote and I almost downloaded it but that would mean obliterating my faux boyfriend...http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x80/hotmandiet/61b6f450.jpg

Anyway Hogmanay Greetings from Edinburgh !
I'm convinced that 2009 will be fabulous!
