Postcard from Up North

There is no past that we can bring back by longing for it. There is only an eternally new now that builds and creates itself out of the Best, as the past withdraws. ~Joahann Wolfgang Von Goethe

(Happy New Year from Main Street. May yours be built and created out of the Best.)

    There was a clock like this in Clarkston where I grew up. It brings back fond memories of my beautiful little hometown.

      There’s no place like home, PZ.

    Maureen,
    A simple quote that really makes one stop and think…perfect for the start of a new year. May the new year bring you and your loved ones peace and joy as you create new memories.

      And the same to you and yours, Maria! Many thanks!

    Such a graceful clock to remind us that time and tide wait for no man….or woman, Maureen.
    Enjoy the new year! XOOX Toni

    Part of the best of 2011 for me was meeting you and my new Greenbrier friends. Maureen, I’m thankful every week for the moments of beauty, wisdom, love and family that you share. Happy New Year!
