Happy New Year one and all!
And yet we are still here on The Other Side of the Mountains, feeling as though we are living our own version of Groundhog Day. More snow... Pass closed... can't get home.
It's a good thing I don't hold much stock in New Years, or resolutions, or artificial beginnings, because I might consider this a rather inauspicious start to 2009. But instead, in my Pollyanna way, I will see the blessings.
At least we weren't already on the road when the Pass was closed thus needing to either turn around or wait it out in Small Town, Northwest.
At least we have a warm, dry, cozy home in which to bide our time until the storm passes.
At least, and in fact there is nothing least about it, we have each other.
So, all of those choruses we sang about dreaming of a white christmas... enough already.

Happy New Year and I hope the weather clears for you so that you can get home safely. It is one thing to be tucked in cozily and a whole other to not be able to leave!
God Bless!
We are in the mountains northish of us. A friend's husband was supposed to join us (well, his family here with us) on the 31st, but got stuck in the City because of the storm...
May the pass clear in time to get you home and plugged in to the rhythm of everyday life and school, and certainly before cozy turns into overcrowded.
Happy New Year Lori! Sorry you are stuck on the other side of the mountain. We'd certainly like a bit of your snow down here.
