"Ring out a slowly dying cause,
And ancient forms of party strife;
Ring in the nobler modes of life,
With sweeter manners, purer laws.

Ring out the want, the care, the sin,
The faithless coldness of the times;
Ring out, ring out my mournful rhymes,
But ring the fuller minstrel in".
(Tennyson)

My prayer is that next year it will be glad bells that are ringing, if only we take the chance to dance to the tunes of a new minstrel. Be safe. Be kind. Care ... and the adventure through the viewfinder continues.

PS - Thanks for all the comments and support re: this year's marathon of lab tests and follow-ups. One week down, three to go. With any luck I'll be able to catch up come the weekend and spend more time in your journals.
