Happy New Year!
Let’s hope so Charles
2012 was all about waiting to move, and now I can just relax and try to make the year go as slow as possible – the kids will be going to a new school, so that will be a big challenge …
Hello again
Happy New Year to you Gab … wishing you and yours all the very best for 2013
Helloooooo Geoff – thank you and happy new year right back at you!
Distance haiku-er?
Good advice, indeed.
Happy New Year!
haha – happy new year to you colonialist and keep on bending those words
Good idea, Gabrielle. I shall do just that, if I can. Happy New Year to you all.
It is harder than it sounds Kate that’s for sure
in this busy world of ours – happy new year to you and yours (including those mischievous critters of yours).
love this Gabe!
May the backburns always burn back and the Joe Blakes stay in the bush and your dogs do not eat a cane toad. Have a great 2013!
haha here’s to that Staffo
bloody canetoads are everywhere (found two in the boys bedroom the other day – snuck through the screen door which blew open in the wind – he wasn’t impressed) – you have a good one too 
Oh yeah. We’ve got to remember to breathe. HAPPY NEW YEAR BEAUTIFUL BRYDENS xxxx
Breathing is always a good thing Selma – having asthma is always a strong reminder of the life force that is oxygen
my new years resolution haha, great!
haha same here tipota – I’m calling 2013 the year of living slow – I’m becoming a tortoise for the duration.
nice one Gabe
Thanks Dhyan
breathe this year Gabe,
happy new year!
Same to you Benedicte
Hope all went well on your trip – here’s to a terrific 2013
I love this haiku, I really do, and not only because it’s a damn good reason to not take up long-distance running.
hahaha – there are many reasons for not taking up long-distance running Nigel (if I ever meet you in person I will tell you what those reasons are – if I write them here I may have a contingent of type A personalities with high blood pressure, out to get me
) – kids run for the fun of it – not so sure about the adults who run!
A meditation of calm in this haiku – taking a big breath…
It’s a reminder to myself bluebee
often not enacted on!
lovely
Thanks Monica
breathe in, breathe out …
Lovely – So wise and so true. We could all do with this advice, Gabe. Thanks so much.
Thanks adeeyoyo
You have something there to be savored. What an adventure. So much beauty.
An adventure – yes Aletha – haha
and it is beautiful (I love this place)
