Welcome to a New Year

Throughout the day when people wished me a Happy New Year, I smiled and returned the greeting, while chuckling to myself that this deal had already been sealed. Regardless of what else happens during the next 364 days (and I suspect that it will not all be happy), 2014 will have been a very good year. Not only did the dog that was not supposed to by alive in April see it, she welcomed 2014 with enthusiasm and joy.

Rolling in the New Year

So, while I wish all of you a very Happy New Year, returning the thought would be somewhat of a non sequitur—like wishing for something that has already be achieved. Instead, just welcome us to another new year and join Bailey in greeting it with gusto.
