Happy New Year! A day late, yes, but nonetheless, I hope you all are already enjoying the new year. We had a lovely time on Sunday, starting with some friends over for the football game. There was lots of yelling and cheering and groaning and cursing. The Steelers won and it was a fine way to end the football season and 2006. Throughout the day we had friends stopping in to say hello and it made me quite happy. So good to see so many faces. It really made the day for me. We fed everyone and then they all went on their merry way to parties. Will and I decided to stay home. Of course we immediately feel asleep watching television, but I woke up at 11:15 and woke up Will so we could ring in the New Year together. I truly couldn't have asked for a better day.

We spent most of yesterday putting together a crazy jigsaw puzzle that Will gave me for Christmas. Puzzles are so addictive. Once I get started, it is really hard to pull myself away. We did take a mid-afternoon break and went for a walk down by the river. It was cold and gray, but it felt good to be out. I'm feeling good about the new year. There are already good things and big changes afloat. It is slightly overwhelming, but mostly I am looking forward to all that lies ahead. How did you ring in the New Year?

A happy week to you!
