Happy New Year

*photo courtesy of  The Graphics Fairy~


Here is to new beginnings, fresh starts, a time to dream, set goals, think of the ways this year can be better. I hope we all can find time, to cherish the past and look forward to the future. This year I hope we can all make time to fulfill lost dreams, and awaken new ones. 

Resolutions don't work for me, I rather make small steps towards a larger goal. What about you? 


"And now let us welcome the New Year full of things that have never been". ~ Rainer Maria Rilke 

Happy New Year to you n' yours~xXx

I agree about the resolutions. I use the word because its so commonly tossed around. Best wishes for a terrific New Year to you and yours.
Lisa said…
All the best to you and yours, Ella in this New year :D

This year I moved my thoughts to what I could add to my life. Summed up it would be: have fun + laugh lots.

YAY! xx

Happy New Year to you!! I am with you on the goals not resolution thing. I am a big breaker of resolutions!
LTM said…
exactly. No resolutions for me, but hopefully the wisdom, courage and strength to make changes as soon as I see they're needed! xoxo <3

I agree with you. I would rather make small goals rather than resolution. I hope you make your goals.

happy new years dear ellen. I am so happy that this world brought us together. Hopefully in 2011 our paths cross in person.

I am not one for making resolutions either. I never stick to them. But I did jot down a few goals. I also choose a word to cultivate in 2011 ~ the word is "love"

Sending you my dear friend, lots of love xoxo

Ellie-Happy new year to you, too! And I ALWAYS make resolutions, but I give them specific tangibles. I find if I don't have moments like this, then I just keep progressing in my bad behavior... New Years is like a 'restart' to me.
Wanda said…
I'm with you Ellie. I don't do the resolution thing well. I love the idea of rediscovering lost dreams. Happy New Year my friend!

Pixie said…
Happy New Year! Wishing you and yours a wonderful 2011. I have decided to be brave and work on creativity, art and all the fun things as much as I work on the non-fun things. I think it's about time.

Hi dear Ellen
Yes I'm not one for resolutions either!!! they tend to fail.. and make one feel like a failure as a result!! I think your idea of baby steps is far preferable!!

I hope you had a lovely new year.. and that 2011 brings you much joy and happiness... thanks so much for your friendship and kindness this past year...

Sorry I'm so late.. my internet seems to be on vacation!! haha

ciao bella xxx Julie

hehehe... resolutions soooooo don't work for me either!! :) Besides, having a birthday that coincides with the new year makes it tougher for me to even MAKE those resolutions (much less keep them!) :)
I hope you are having a great new year, Ellen..
ROCK ON!!!! :)
xoxo
