Best Berry Cobbler

The anticipation, uncertainty and hope for a fresh start.

A celebration of optimism.

A New year and New beginning.

As much as we like to move on and move forward, we can't take the right step forward, without acknowledging the past.

Having said that, one doesn't need a reason to celebrate, contemplate and continue with life.

This moment right now, right here is good enough to savor, to make resolutions,  promises, set goals and learn.

And, one doesn't need an excuse to make a cobbler and that too with berries.
