so here we are. 2011 at last. happy new year everybody! *fireworks &c*
no really - i hope your 2011 is everything you dream it could be (though not the nightmares, obviously - that would just be mean). i'm not really a celebrater of new year - haven't been for years, but it is kinda nice to see the calendar flick over and feel like you've got a chance to start afresh (however arbitrary the timing of that chance may be. remember, kids - time and date are an invention of man... ;) we had a lovely evening with a couple of friends, last night (The Most Wonderful Woman In The World and her lovely man). they came over for dinner, and then left to get home before midnight, as the fireworks frighten their dogs. so it was just me an' hubby watching Jools Holland's Hootenanny (a tradition a decade long), and it was quiet and lovely.
and now, as i said, here we are. new year, new decade, new challenge. a thirty-day blog challenge, to be precise. and today's is a really, really easy one for me. in fact, i've even mentioned my favourite song somewhere on here. hell - i named the blog after it! but for those of you who may have missed the post, here's a link to it on YouTube. the first time i heard it, it made me cry. well over fifteen years later, i still sit here, cheeks wet with tears, marvelling at how every single word in the lyric both calls to and describes me. though i am neither a musician nor a music geek, music is viscerally important to me, and this song touches my soul every. single. time.
