Moving the chairs to mop after the party.  Cleaning felt like a good year to start the year. It was a beautiful, sunny first day in Brooklyn today.  The kids were upstairs with Daddy, excited by the toys unearthed by kids at the party.  I was mopping in the sunlight and feeling thankful to have celebrated out first winter holidays in our new space.  We talked about plans for the upcoming year on our walk around the neighborhood.  What a difference a year makes!
