Feliz Ano Nuevo

So, if I forgot to buy grapes and do not eat 12 of them at midnight will 2008 be less than sweet and fruitful? Would raisins do, Cubanos?

We are having a low-key evening. We’ll be eating lentils (because I also forgot to buy black-eyed peas to celebrate the Southern) and drinking excellent bubbly on the couch.

Not so bad a way to bring in the New Year.

This past year has brought joy, adventure, sadness and fear, just what I have come to expect from living a full life. It all has been good, for even the bad inspires new direction and grace.

I’m feeling a bit nostalgic and fuzzy and I haven’t even started on the champagne. (Probably because I have been listening to This American Life podcasts for two hours while cooking). I’m thinking a lot about what I want for myself, my family, my business in 2008. Will post a little list at some point.

If you like, tell me what you would like when you visit this space.

Happy and Wonderful and Propero 2008 to you and yours.
