You can always tell when I've been catching up on Esther's blog... because I reblog half of it!  Or am tempted to.   Here's my favorite find on there today: this is my wish for each of us this year.

May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you’re wonderful, and don’t forget to make some art — write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself.
