I will say today, Happy New Year and I will mean it with all sincerity. I think the reason I look to the New Year with such hope and anticipation may be most simply put, because it involves the word “New.”
I’m thinking that I will introduce a new concept this year…. Happy New Month, Happy New Week and Happy New Day. Now that I think upon it, every moment is new to me. Perhaps I will begin Happy New Moment…thus taking the time to realize that what HAS been may not be again.
In this way it might be possible for me to be in that moment; to offer thanks, to lament loss, to christen joy, to breathe deep knowing that another breath comes directly and it is mine as well.
So I wish a Happy New Year to all of us…this moment, this breath…it is yours whether happy or not…it is yours.
peace today

Happy New Years to you all and wishing you all Peace, love and joy!
Today was a sad end to the year for me, my grandpa went home to God. He had a good life, so I am lamenting his loss, but feeling hopeful for the New Year, at least there is another new angel looking out for us. I am going to take a page from your cyber book on ‘New’, every moment is new and the wonders that they bring.
Happy New Year and a Healthy 2008.

That is a really beautiful sentiment, Mrs. I’ll have to remember the “Happy New Moment” the next time I have one of those days…
Thanks for always putting things into perspective. I really love reading your blog.
