In recent years I have kept Christmas decorations up until after the new year but this year they are gone already and I am happy to embrace a New Year! I pray that 2011 is a good one for not only me but for all my friends, family and for anyone who feels like I do and is ready to leave 2010 behind. Although 2010 may not have provided to me exactly what I wanted I am thankful for the wonderful friendships that have bloomed. Friendships that came so unexpectedly during a world wind kind of a time in my life.

So cheers to ringing in a New Year with those we love and to 2011 being good to all of us!

Happy New Year!!!
