. . . is not necessarily what we get.
The lingering sense I’m left with, of last year, is – relief? That the terrible events of 2012 are now written in stone. For history to make of them what it can.
Looking forward, looking back, which way is which?
It’s a gray day, this dawn of the new year. What will it bring?
What do you see? Barney with four ears?
Bugs braces for impact.

Anita loves cats. This must be because she, too, has had nine lives. She’s been dancing since she could walk, she was a commercial artist and advertising producer, she earned a third-degree black belt in Aikido, she is a drummer with the Afrique Aya Dance Company, she is an attorney, and she’s a meditator and a devoted student of Nonviolent Communication. She also spent one lifetime sidelined with a devastating back injury in 1992. Since then – FELDENKRAIS METHOD® to the rescue. The FELDENKRAIS METHOD is all about dreaming concretely – thinking intelligently and independently by way of a gracious and kind physicality. The work affords all who study it a process by which to reach, with movement, into the mind and the heart, to make nine lives into one whole being.

Hope this year will be a good year for you. 🙂
So late with my replies — well — you, too, dear Dianda.
Don’t worry about your late replies! 🙂
Wishing you all the best for 2013 my dear Bugs! Bowie says “Meow!”
“Meow meow” back, dear Bowie, from Bugs and Barney.
I hope the best for you,dear Anita! And for the kitties, of course, but this makes part of the first wish! 🙂
Absolutely! What’s good for my kitties is good for me! Thank you looloo!
Wishing you a Happy and Purring New Year!
You too, dear Tex.
May you enjoy the best year yet!
Thank you for sharing the past year with us. You have enriched my life so. Thank you!
Love
Aw typist — we feel the same way about you, too, over here. Hugs!!
Bugs,
I know we don’t get to talk much anymore since my typist is so unreliable and your typist is now famous, but let’s just take off some night and go herd up them wildebeest, alright?!? See ya, dude!
Name the date.
I had a bit of “annus horribilis” this past year – yes past – over. A new one coming. Happy New Year! May we all see some annus “mirabilis”!!
Oh boy, Anya — as we Jews say: “From your mouth to G-d’s ear.” May it be so! I need to drop by and see what you’ve been enduring. Many many hopes for a light, healthy, happy new year. Mirabile dictu, right?
Happy New Year and may this one be smoother than the last.
Oh thank you, dear Wazeau. I’m still haunted . . . . will never be the same. May I find a way to make that a good thing.
Happy New Year! Eat more cookies!
Cookies!! Cookies!! We want chicken cookies!!
Wishes for NOTHING but the BEST in the New Year!! xoxo
Dear Cody — you too, for sure.
Here’s to a happy and healthy 2013! We are so glad to be your pals! Mommy always enjoys your though-provoking posts. We like Bugs and Barnes!
And we love you too! Times 15!!
2011 was my “bad year.” I really thought that the universe was trying to do me in. 2012 had its ups and downs but was positively pleasant in comparison (for me, anyway.) May 2013 be kind to both of us (all of us!) and to our furry minions.
Amen!
Happy New Year all…much love and peace for the new year.
You bring it, hon. Back atcha.
Wishing you a year filled with happiness. Peace on … xox
And to you too. So glad to be enjoying you.
Present year, best year. Peace, love & purrs from our family to yours.
Thank you, Layla. And to yours too.
Happy new year, my sweet pals!
Aw Rumblers. So dear. Glad Rumbledad is back, BTW.
We hope you have a wonderful new year!
Thank you, Andrea. You too, with your kids.
Beautiful!
YAY!!
Hi-ho neighbour! It’s been ages since I last blogged. I saw your header and couldn’t believe it…2 CATS!!! Hope you’re all well. Best wishes for 2013.
I’ve just been skimming through your recent posts. Sounds like I missed a lot in the last year. Big furry hugs from all of us xxx
Thank you, Eleanor! Great to see you back. And many, many congratulations to you and your hub!!
Dear Anita: I was traveling so now I have to play ‘catch up’ for a while… Hope you had a good start to your 2013!
Glad to see you back, dear Ivy.
