So here it is... the end of another year.

I apologize for missing a couple posts this past week. It happens.
But I'd like to take a moment to thank you all for reading... THANK YOU.

I started this blog on December 26th, 2008... and have posted most every day since then.
Hard to believe... but there it is.

This year I posted about alot of changes... health, finances, moving...
issues with the kids... with extended family... with friends.. and foes...
with jobs... and art... lots of photography...
---and so much more.

I thank you for reading along.

It makes my day to read comments through Facebook about these posts;
and to know that you enjoy my words... my thoughts... my Haiku... my photographs and art.

In closing out this fabulous year; I thought I would enclose some links I found that I thought you might enjoy.

This is the blogsite to which I have been contributing these past couple of months.
... a book I want to get...
This is a "hub" for lots of wonderful street art photography... with tons of links on it
And another awesome photography site... and another!
and then I found THIS.

Some great DIY ideas for your home this coming year...
and some inspiration for crafting
plus some cool ways to tie a scarf--- here and HERE.
and to play
and then this was discovered! (and also posted about here).

And because I love photography so...
I want to include this great article
and this one (so awesome!)
and this one. (makes you want to go, huh)

So, my dear ones, I wish you all the best for the remainder of 2013...
(here's a look back)
and all such wonderfulness for the coming year!
