Happy New Year, Zo.

January 3, 2020 By Captain Maiel

To be honest, when I was a kid, I never believed I would see 2020. I always thought, wow, that is so far out…will I even get there. It’s fascinating the passage of time. When we are so young our future seems so far out of reach, and it is the thing we yearn for, forgetting in our haste to make the preparations our friends and family warn us to heed. One day we find us there, smack dab in the middle of adulthood, adulting like a boss. At least, we adult in spectacular hot messes. Hopefully we also remember to find the humor in our own antics, like Zo finds humor in everyday moments.

Wishing you and yours a safe, prosperous, and epically comical New Year.

Relative Slippage of Time – Open Book Blog Hop #113

♦Welcome to another edition of the Open Book Blog Hop!♦

Topic #113

What are you most looking forward to this coming year?

Welcome back to another edition of the Open Book Blog Hop! If you’re new to the series, the authors included are grateful for your reads and appreciate, even more so, when you share our writings with your friends. If you’re new to the series, welcome aboard. The authors engage and impress weekly. Be prepared to become a regular reader.

There is so much to look forward to in a coming year. The promise that is made by putting up the fresh calendar, turning that page on the book of life, can be quite refreshing, if not exhilarating. Not every year has been a positive experience. There’s certainly no guarantee that it will be. However, the coming days are largely a mystery.

In 2018, I will get to see my daughter’s first birthday. Miss Shagbottom turns 8 in a few days. A traineeship that I have been on for a couple years will come to a close and I expect to receive a big promotion, one that I’ve been working toward for a good portion of my career. And, I hope to see the release of Burning Down, book two of The Trailokya Trilogy.

The thing I look forward to the most this year is spending time with Katie and watching her slowly grow into a

toddler. I can’t express the elation of finally getting this big wish come true and it’s endless unfolding day after day.

She is a wonder! She is love personified. It breaks my heart to love her so much, but that is how a parent should feel, and child struggle to understand, but rely on, that devotion until they have children of their own.

So far, at 5 months, she’s met so many accolades already. She’s become highly alert and is learning all the necessary things we take for granted: sitting up, standing, having real food, speaking… The learning is ongoing and something to behold. Simple things put a smile on her bright face, and that smile is healing to my old heart.

Motherhood. Motherhood is what I look forward to the most this year. Yes, spending time with Katie and watching her slowly grow. My biggest wish, right here in my lap.

Let’s hop on over to see what the other authors are looking forward to this year…

2017 Well Wishes From Shagbottom

January 2, 2017 By Captain Maiel

It’s time again for another episode of Shagbottom Theater!

One day of the new year is under out belt. I don’t know about you, but I will not miss 2016. Miss Shagbottom had some great episodes but it was a tough year all around despite the fun. So many notable persons lost. So many tragedies, of which we’re going to reap the benefits for years to come.

Miss Shagbottom would like to share some wishes with you, that hopefully will help this year start and continue peacefully and full of good things.

Happy New Year (2016) from Shagbottom Theater

January 1, 2016 By Captain Maiel

It’s amazing to think that this year has already been and gone. I think I was just sitting here ringing in the new 2015. That was fast and it was tough and it was wild. It seemed that at every turn, hard work fizzled into zero return, and more was going out with nothing to speak of coming in.

Here’s hoping for a better, more loving year; a year in which we find many of our dreams come true and the hard work we put forward paying off.

Remember, the new year always brings with it the hope and promise of many new days ahead.
