The New Year.....




"The new year is looking kindly at me,
and I leave the old one with its sunshine and clouds
 quietly behind me"
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe



And my resolutions for La Pouyette in 2012  ???

 

None! 

I'm with   Anaïs Nin  who said:

"I made no resolutions for the New Year.
The habit of making plans, of criticizing, sanctioning
and molding my life,
is too much of a daily event for me"

:)  :)  :)

I'll just try to make the best out of this year, keeping our simple life style,
starting each day with a laugh or two....

:) :) :)


Now....

 ...Oskar sends, from his prison cell,
a big New-Year-Purr
to all four-legged and two-legged blogger friends!

....purr-purr-purr....

He still has to live in 'prison' for another ????? weeks,
and - although his complicated-broken leg is improving
and the cell has  :) WC, dining area and a comfortable living/bedroom/space :) -
he is rather "muffig", not very amused!!!
But he's trying very hard to make the best out of it.



"Please, please...

...please, let me  out Mummy,

would love to run around, making decisions...


 ...whether to snuggle up in a nice armchair...


...or...


 ...having my daydreams on a stool or...

...just sitting on a stack of old linen, watching what you bumble about!"

*****


Hope that you all had a very good start to 2012!

A bientôt

31. December - Silvester


"Das Jahr neigt sich zu Ende...."



I like to allow the year to nicely fade away
with a few blues notes....

for an interesting and lovely blogging-year.

May  2012  be a wonderful and prosperous year
filled with good health and happiness for all.



Bonne Année!

Frohes Neues Jahr!
