And we’re back. Back at work, back at school and back to the daily routine (with any luck). We spent the past week not doing too much of anything. I took a much-needed break from the computer which explains the absence of a more timely New Year greeting. So a slightly belated Happy New Year is in order.

I didn’t feel compelled to make any resolutions as the calendar changed to 2014. I think I have my hands full maintaining the life I live now without adding more pressure, although the wish to become more fit and healthy is an aspiration that continues into the new year along with better time management, more patience with my kids and a constant improvement with my photography. Can you call them New Year Resolutions if they never really leave your mind?

2014 is an open book. I’m excited to see what’s around the corner.
