01.03.2012 Let There Be...

Let There be Friendship,  

Let There be Courage, 

Let There be Love, 

Let There be Joy,

Let There be Light

I've read that these five themes were depicted in different designs formed by the hundreds of LED lit triangular Waterford crystal tiles that sparkle in the Times Square New Year's Eve Ball. (dvice.com)

Such universal sentiments don't require the glitz and glamor of Times Square; a friendly little bonfire and luminarios lend equal cheer to a long cold winter night in my book.

As midnight approached, the tiny tealights in the luminarios flickered out. Barry added the paper bags to the fire, one by one.  Each was surrendered to the flames with a grateful remembrance of the kindness we experienced last year, a banishment of bad juju from the past year, or a wish for the New Year.

We wish you and yours the very best in 2012  ~ Lynn and Barry
