Mostly I just either keep my momentum or change my direction.<br /><br />But I will admit that the sensation of the changing year feels like I'm reaching the bottom of the hill (ending the old year) and then getting magically set at the top of the next hill (starting the new year).Travis Codyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06192526507760146748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221839.post-73811785031626850942013-01-04T12:38:17.175-06:002013-01-04T12:38:17.175-06:00Lisa, Lana got some great ones.Lisa, Lana got some great ones.Charles Gramlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02052592247572253641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221839.post-12234100860170870072013-01-04T10:37:48.507-06:002013-01-04T10:37:48.507-06:00The fireworks picture is spectacular.

I'm glad Lana kept her cameras. You should post more of her stuff. She has a good eye.<br /><br />I, too, feel more optimistic in early January. I've wondered if it doesn't have something to do with the fact that we've passed winter solstice and the days are getting longer. The increased light, even the small amount so far, could have an effect on mood.Adventuresfantastichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16907562789681407416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221839.post-63226921193894757772013-01-02T10:46:12.165-06:002013-01-02T10:46:12.165-06:00Prashant, I know what you mean.
