The subject for today is the new year:

Youth is when you’re allowed to stay up late on New Year’s Eve. Middle age is when you’re forced to.
~Bill Vaughan

New Year’s Day: Now is the accepted time to make your regular annual good resolutions. Next week you can begin paving hell with them as usual.
~Mark Twain

We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year’s Day.
~Edith Lovejoy Pierce

CTV is airing It’s A Wonderful Life this Saturday.  Since I look forward to watching this movie every holiday season, I was thrilled when I saw it on the schedule. Even though there have been some great Christmas movies over the years, this one is my absolute favorite. I don’t often tear up when watching movies, but It’s A Wonderful Life gets me every time.

What’s your favorite Christmas movie?

I can’t believe it’s already December. It snowed yesterday with huge flakes that gently fell on my hair, my face, and lingered for a moment before melting. It felt like I was walking in a snow globe after someone had gently shaken it. The last week and a half has also been especially productive, writing wise, and I hope that continues throughout the month.
