It is a new year —

one, I hope, of happiness

and a bit of peace.

A new year, new start
untangling things tethering
me to my sadness.

A few snowflakes float
past the kitchen window. Where
will they come to rest?

Dog chews on a bone
and my mind wanders a bit —
what will the year bring?

A new year begins —
please let this one be less fraught
with big life events.

Date’s oh-one, one, one-oh —
kind of a cool way to start
a spanking new year.

Day one of a new
year and a brand new decade —
time to turn the page.

Packed the kids off to
school — pushed them out the door — am
dizzy with freedom.
