This is the new year...
This was the first time in a few years that I wasn't on an airplane, somewhere over Montana as the new year rolled in.
This year it was a nice lake in the Blue Ridge Hills.
This year, well, I suppose it was still last year, I sat out by the dock, watching the sun set behind the trees, 2014 was coming to a close. It was so peaceful to say goodbye to the calendar year. Those last quiet moments, in the chilly evening, maybe some of my favorite moments from the end of the year.
Then, after a quiet, yet fun, last night of 2014, I awoke to the sun streaming over the lake. The first sunrise of 2015. The first morning of the new year. As I stood out in the crisp mountain air, coffee in had, I greeted the day and the new year and thought about what lies ahead.
As I greeted the sun that morning, I decided that this is my new year...no specific goals, no resolutions, just the intention to greet each day and fully embrace 2015!

Love the photo with the coffee cup in the front. Nice.
A very tranquil way to bid goodbye to a year that saw milestone changes in your life, as well as a serene and peaceful stage on which to embrace the unknown possibilities of a new year.
Oh this location sounds, and looks, ideal to welcome the dawn of a new year. Greet all the possibilities. It is such a positive beginning. And it's all about attitude...so I have no doubt 2015 is going to be one to remember for you my friend! Thanks for joining in at Song-ography.
This is wonderful - to be at the same beautiful spot for the sunset and sunrise as the year ends and begins. It leaves me with the thought that there is as much promise in the dawn of each new day as we might "pay attention" to at the dawn of a new year. Love your intention to greet each day with this heart and mindset!
How can you not love that picture with the coffee cup?! Nice way to see one year out and another one in. Happy New Year!
PERFECT place to celebrate anything - including a new year!!
Beautiful shots Tamar :)
What a beautiful spot and place to be to welcome the new year!!
And what you described is why I so love to go to the sunrise - great way to usher one year out and the next in.
Perfect place to relax! I feel calmer just looking at your photos! I chuckled to see you are addicted to Two Dots -- me too!!! Love it!
I spent the last couple hours of 2014 in the local Urgent Care center being treated for a "flu-like illness." I opened my eyes to the gorgeous New Year and croaked out, "May I have some cough medicine, please, and a cup of tea?"
Sounds like a nice relaxing way to start the new year!
I have never been a fan of New Year's Eve parties so this sounds like the perfect way to welcome the new year to me!
