From what I’ve been gathering, I’m not the one who has got the soundtrack of Les Miserable running through my head. The lyrics arise within me when I wake, I hear the melodies when I drift to sleep, and I singing all through the day. Although I was expecting to enjoy the movie, I wasn’t expecting the kind of reaction I’ve had. There is a passion and fervor that has permeated my very soul.
Fight. Dream. Hope. Love.
It’s not just me, is it? Can you feel it? Does it speak to you?
And it all feels so timely. I can think of no better way to end 2012 and begin 2013 but to hold onto these ideals, these words, this music…the celebration of the power, strength, and resilience and of human spirit.
“One more dawn
One more day
One day more!”
Yes..yes. I – too – have been hearing those words over and over in my head. Here's my little nod to the new year:

Wishing everyone here a year filled with peace and joy!
A farewell to 2012…

I just saw the movie a couple of days ago. One of my favorite musicals of all time. I too have been singing the soundtrack for weeks now. What a beautiful time of year to be reminded of love and redemption. Loved loved loved it!
Is there a new word list for January? I've really enjoyed the monthly lists this fall.
