Project 366 is over. That means I have to post without a picture. You know, it only takes two weeks for a habit to form, and I've spent a year - a whole YEAR - thinking about, searching for and setting up shots for a photo of the day. It's ingrained. To help me break the habit, I relied on a semi-tradition that began a few years ago. Here's my New Year's Day poem for 2009.



The best of time has come again
When all the rush is o’er
When life begins to settle down
To a dull and quiet roar

When children dream of endless days
And grown-ups wish they’d slow
When promises are kept a while
Into the New Year’s glow

When new and sparkling prospects bloom
Beyond our power to see
With unexpected grace and awe
We grasp a chance to be!
