Happy New Year!

I have high hopes for 2007, especially after the roller coaster that was 2006. Still, I have no regrets about the year that was.

At the party I attended last night, we each wrote down three wishes for the coming year, then burned them to send them out into the universe. In class yesterday, we set our intention not just for class, but for the year.

Setting a tone thusly can only yield positive results. It sure beats how I've spent the past five or six new year's eves: home, alone, drinking a vodka and cranberry, watching the ball drop in Times Square and singing both verses of Auld Lang Syne by myself from a 1935 songbook.

This is going to be a momentous year, I can feel it. And what a difference a year makes. I went back yesterday and read my first post of 2006. It was morose and full of self-pity. In hindsight, that really set a horrible tone for the following 12 months.

So I wish all my readers the same love, light, health and happiness that I intend and wish to bring to myself.

It's going to be one hell of a great year!
