Signs

I have been told that New Year's Day is indicative of how your year will be. Ugh. I sure hope not! The kids were in Times Square with a million people trying to get back to the apartment they were staying in with "aunt bunnie" (don't ask)....it took them hours and hours and Rhia's feet were actually bleeding from all the walking and I was, well, let's just say mother bears are never very happy if they are not able to protect their cubs.

After about 3 hours sleep, I then decide to finish my newsletter http://mysite.verizon.net/vze3hvnp/spirit.html and update this web page. If this is indicative of how my year will go, it's been real nice chatting with you but a deadly accident is about to happen to my computer.

The day ended on a positive though. We burned our regrets from 2007, prayed for a fresh peaceful start, smoked the house with incense (I can't find my sage and well, the Pope uses incense, if it's good enough for him.....) banged the drum to scare out the spirits (well, not really, I got a djembe for Christmas and I just like to bang it) and then we all curled up on the couches in the living room and reconnected.

Thank God they are home safely. Thank God for all the many, many blessings we are honored with. And most of all, Thank God for the opportunities we have to be better people. Amen!
