Ten minutes before midnight. Just moments away from a new year.
She stands in darkness atop a hill, an icy wind chilling her face, her hair streaming behind her. Glancing over her shoulder, she watches another year blow away taking with it broken promises, unhappy memories and shattered dreams.
As angry black clouds scurry from sight a new moon appears spreading a silver carpet of hope at her feet. Her long dark shadow tumbles away into past.
Suddenly all is calm. She gazes toward the future. Another year arrives. Another chance to start her life anew.
Hope and fresh perspective.
Indeed. Thanks so much Sadje.
You’re welcome Keith.
Happy New Year, Keith. The older I get, the faster time flies. I must be having more fun? Maybe she will too.
Having fun is surely the key to longevity. Well, that’s my excuse! Happy New Year Denise.
