Hey party people. I'm alone here on New Year's Eve, Paul is working, and I'm feeling in a right pensive mood. I've eaten ice cream and played some Scrabulous and done a lot of NYE thinking. Some good happened this year, like the very best thing, getting to marry my Paul. A whole hell of a lot bad happened too and is continuing to happen. I feel these days as though my grasp on sanity is increasingly tenuous and it gets very tempting some days to let the last thread of sanity slip through my fingers so I can enjoy the calmness of C-R-A-Z-Y. So far, so good though.
For me, and for so many of you out there, 2007 was a real shithole of a year and you commiserated with me and I commiserated with you and I want to thank you for that. I learned a whole lot this year, some positive things and some negative...but the one thing that was really hammered into my rock hard head was this; the people who are supposed to love you always and care for you completely often will not, but the people from whom you least expect it will step up and give you the words of encouragement or the moment of laughter that you need when you need it most. Some of my 'internet friends' are the most meaningful people in my life because, although I may not talk to them a lot, they give me what I need and allow me to give them what I have to give. So, hey, friends who read this? So many of you rock my world on a regular basis and you'll never know how much your comments, emails and chats mean to me. I'm thinking here of at least a dozen of you, but Nancy and the other Jennifer G., you guys especially.
My fondest wish for you, my dear readers, is that your 2008 will be better than your 2007. Health, happiness, love, security and stability - these things I wish for you today and for the next 365.
Happy New Year!

Lovely sentiments written in a lovely way! Happy new year to you lady, and I sincerely hope it is and continues to be. I don't get to communicate with you nearly as much as I'd like, and I definitely resolve to try to resolve that! *smooch*
Thank you, sweetheart! I feel all the same for you, and am writing my own little wishes for you all (slowly).
XOX!
Thanks, laz and I agree. I don't know why we communicate so little. You're in my heart all the time and I think of our little gang as 'my best friends' still, yet in reality I rarely talk to you all. Not quite sure why that is.
And X's and O's back to both of you lovely women.
