Ring out the old, ring in the new

“Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky,
The flying cloud, the frosty light;
The year is dying in the night;
Ring out, wild bells, and let him die.

Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.”
–   Alfred Lord Tennyson, Ring Out, Wild Bells

heartfelt thanks to each of you for visiting my Magpie’s Nest in 2009!

for each ending there is a new beginning … here’s to a wonderful 2010

May this New Year hold all that you hope for and more!
