Quiet...

This New Year's Eve was a quiet one. No crazy dressing up. No midnight kisses. No champagne count-downs. It was spent with friends and I think that's what is important. Sometimes the pretense of what things are supposed to be over-shadow what really is. I don't know what is to come down the road. I can only hope for more genuine moments.

Andrew, I have been reading your blog for a couple of weeks now and I find you have such wonderful way of looking at the world, at creativity. This post and the last, Oranges, really make a wonderful point that happiness is most often in the most simple things.

Happy New Year,
Michelle

Thanks Michelle! Happy New Year to you as well. In writing my blog, I think a lot about creativity and the various different approaches to it. I think it's easy to forget that EVERYTHING is involved with a creative life: food, the streets you pass as you go about your day, paintings, jewelry, everything.

And I agree, the simple things sometimes are the most powerful sources of happiness.
