Fruitful

Besides all the things without which we can not function happily such as health and love, I also hope that 2013 will be fruitful. May you learn that new skill you've always thought of learning, may you create many happy memories for yourself and those around you. May you make a difference. If your health is failing, may this be the year that you retake control. Take care of yourself above all else because you won't be able to do any of the things mentioned above otherwise.

To that end, tomorrow is the day that I make every possible doctor's appointment to carry out annual health checks from head to toe.

Today though, we escaped for three hours to Middle Earth and loved it. Because I watched Peter Jackson's behind-the-scenes-video blog on YouTube yesterday, it was even more incredible. And yes, that dwarf prince is hot.

Far over....the misty mountains cold.....
