I'm a little late, but I have been thinking all week about the title for this post. It's a French phrase, that, according to the internet (and you know how accurate that is) means something like the English phrase "tip of my tongue", or as one definition wrote, "on the brink of epiphany", or yet another, "almost seen".
It's a phrase that I love, for it is pregnant with possibility. How could you not love the idea of "almost seen"?
The girls are asleep for once, and I am pondering what this new year may hold for my little family. Since Punky's birthday ends our years now, I think I am paying more attention to way our time is passing. The little ones grow unceasingly and (almost) unbearably quickly. I move more slowly and feel a bit more creaky.
So, I am trusting in optimism this year. That is my one resolution. I am giving in to hope. I am choosing to believe that this young new year will treat us all well this year, that good health will hold, old friends will reappear (here's looking at you, Boo), and that we will end this year better people than when we began it.
Cheers!

Almost seen, that is a tantalizing phrase, isn't it? Sounds like a fine wish for a new year to me. Time does seem to pass ridiculously quickly, doesn't it? My Miss Deedles is 10 already! I just try no think about it. I've decided to simply stop aging. I think it just might work, too! Love you, lady.
