Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! Folly Beach, S.C.



Happy New Year! I love New Year's Eve. Always have and hope I always will. Years ago, when Charleston had the big First Night Festival I was on the board and coordinated hundreds of volunteers for the event, roping all of my friends into staffing events and cauldrons all over town.

Now-a-days I gather some of the same group and new friends to go out for an early evening dinner and I will be home to watch the ball drop from the snug corner of my couch. We will be the first costumers of the evening at Husk. Hip, hip, hurrah! Best new restaurant in America, here we come!  I was looking for something sparkly to wear but according to my closet I am NOT a sparkle person.

I whine to my boss when I am forced to write goals each year and tell him that "goals just slow me down". Some of the best things that happened in 2011 I couldn't have anticipated to write down as resolutions so I'll keep flying by the seat of my pants and try to be brave enough not to turn down new opportunities in 2012. 

Thank you to all of you who have made my life so interesting and fun this year. May 2012 treat you kindly! Thank you for dropping by Charleston Daily Photo. I hope you have some idea how grateful I am for all your comments and emails! Feel free to touch base on Facebook if you have a presence there.

Happy new year to you Joan. One of the things I look forward to in 2012 is to follow your goings-on in Charleston or wherever the road, or paddle, takes you.

Well, I guess you are sleeping off a hangover. Welcome to the future known as 2012.

Thank you for all your kind wishes! Happy New Year!

Rick - I am not hung over sadly, woke up with a terrible cold and can't hardly talk. I don't recall that being one of my resolutions. Sniff. Cough.

This entry has had so many hits. It pops up when people google New Years Beach Image.

Except for this year I have posted the new number that I scroll on an auto's window, but with no snow... Love the idea of anticipating 2012 with a beach and stones!!
