A wonderful photo essay! A wonderful New Year to you!
ReplyDeleteYah - The second to comment, I do think this is a first!? Jackie, I loved that quote. That is truly how we should live our lives. Such an appropriate post and the holidays is truly about breaking all the rules. I thank you for each & every word you have expressed to me over these hard months. You are a friend for a lifetime. I wish you, Mr. Home and your sweet family a magnificent New Year. May you ring it in with a champagne in hand and knowing I am thinking of you here in America. All my best with love,

dear jackie... i so enjoy reading your blog and wish you truly all of the many blessings you deserve in the new year... x pam
ReplyDeleteA truly wonderful post! That quote is going into my commonplace book and probably somewhere on my wall. What a great wish for a new year.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you, and enjoy the celebrations. Detox can wait!
How lovely! Thank you for such a fabulous wish for the New Year! Right back at you, from both of us!
ReplyDeleteJust a fantastic post and ditto over here on how you feel....except my son turns 10 tomorrow so there won't be much of that champagne that I wish for, for fear the parents of the boys that come over won't let them come over again! On second thought, maybe I will so the boys aren't always at my house, hmmm something to think about!
ReplyDeleteA perfect quote Jackie! I am so glad to have you among my blogging friends and look forward to lots more sharing in the new year...I wish all the best for you and your family...
ReplyDelete...here's to 2010!

One of the hilights of my year was finding your wonderful blog! I feel much like the girl in the first picture...I just don't look that beautiful at it!
ReplyDeletehugs to you dear friend and wishing you a happy New Year!
I'm with you on this! Hope you are up for a few more sparkly drinks, Monday is days away and that is soon enough. Have a wonderful new Years and only the absolute best in 2010.
ReplyDeleteOh Jackie it sounds like you need to come to my rather elegant New Years bash, we have fairy dust to take care of all that Christmas excess, plus we are off to Venice and a masked ball. You simply have to come it won't be fun with out you. Then there's the gondolas,the fireworks, the sweeping staircase and Blenheim Palace. You just need a sprinkle of fairy dust and you'll be fine......I promise.
ReplyDeleteI hope that 2010 brings you joy.
Much love
Lia

Dear Jackie
ReplyDeleteWonderful quote! I'm always up for a bit of good madness. Thanks for a wonderful blogging year... and for being a great email buddy. Hope all your dreams come true in 2010...and tonight [here anyway] Have a blast!! xxx Julie
Looking forward to the new year where all my resolutions will be met and I will be the new and improved Carole from MG. Ya right!! I'll still be the same...haha.
ReplyDeleteI've enjoyed all your lovely comments in 09....I know how much effort you put into each one....your amazing...just the best!
The Happiest of New Year to you and Mr Home!!!
Carole
see ya next year!
I hear you Jackie ~ I feel the same way!! I am sure I gained 10 pounds over the past 5 days and with all the chocolate around our house ~ I am not sure when my detox will start...as a nibble on a Tolberone...
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you my new friend ~ 2009 has been good to me and blogging has introduced me to some wonderful people ~ you being one of them. Thank you for your support and your comments from the get go. Cheers to a fantabulous 2010!
Jackie,
ReplyDeleteAll of the above has just been too much! I feel your pain and the need for detox from....the cookies, food, liquor, not to mention the preparation of...baking the cookies, wrapping the presents, preparing the Christmas dinner, cleaning up the leftover debris, and removing the Christmas tree! Time for some TLC i.e. manicure, pedicure, a good long soak in the tub, lots of liquids (not the kind that makes you fuzzy headed), and lots of afternoon naps to replenish the body. PHEW!
Happy New Year.
Kris

Yes, I'm very much in favour of such abundance followed by a spartan lifestyle, and over and over again, rather than a tedious even keel. Happy new year to you, Jacqueline!

Looking forward to hearing how your New Year's eve went!

It's one of the best things we can do I think. Enjoying being back on the veges myself after all that cheese and foie gras!
ReplyDeleteMany bright blessings to you Jackie!
