We always go for a walk on New Year’s Day.  Today was a little nippers at 0 degrees with a bit of a wind.  I can’t say we went long or far, but at least we continued one of our traditions.

I can’t say I am too concerned with resolutions this year, but I am making a conscious effort to align my actions with my intentions.  What does that mean?  More studio time, less computer time.  More drawing, less computer time.  I think you can see where I am headed.

Thank you for stopping by my blog during the past year.  I wish each of you a peaceful and creative New Year.
