New, old

And then all is new again, but still old at the same time, in the way that your newly-laundered favorite sheets are new and old, in the way that your fifteen year-old car feels new again after an oil changed, in the way that your old leather go-bag is new again after a cleanup and a polish. The things we take comfort in and the things that are important to us will never really grow old.

Just like friends, family, and the one person that we chose to spend the rest of our lives with.

Happy New Year!
