I have no plans for tonight. At first, I thought I might go over to American Sushi House, about two miles away, for dinner. The family that owns it, from Korea, have become friends, but I don't much feel like going alone - and I have a couple of Netflix movies - so I think I'll just stay put. I've enjoyed just reading blogs today, with all their wonderful New Year's messages of hope and renewal. I've only heard from a couple of family members and friends so it is really nice to feel the warmth from my blogging world. I just visited the blog of Karen at Keeping Secrets
( http://keepingsecrets-karen.blogspot.com/2009/12/new-year-blossoms.html ) and thought her post was so visually beautifully and uplifting. You might want to check it out.
It's already dark here and, in parts of the world, the New Year has already debuted. I just pray that everyone celebrates safely and sanely. We don't need any tragedies to mar the beginning of a new decade.
Blessings to our world. If we all join forces, we may manage to embrace each other in peace and understanding.
Musings and meanderings, poetic and otherwise, photography, travels, recipes, whatever comes my way that seems interesting to my gray matter!
Leaving in a few minutes with friends but wanted to wish you one more time a Happy New Year....sorry you are alone tonight but you do sound happy....good for you....I join you in sending blessings to our world....:-) Hugs

Happy New Year.It was so hot here last we headed to the Beach to cool off and to catch a view of the 9:pm fireworks. But a thunderstorm rolled over so we headed home and then to a friends house to see in the New Year.
ReplyDeleteSeeing all the people crammed onto public transport made me feel glad we were headed home for a quiet night.
Best wishes to you for 2010. I look forward to blogging the year with you.
You are a beautiful woman and soul dear Carmen... I hope your year is full of happines and joy and fun and, etc- really
ReplyDeleteI just went to Karen's blog, it's so beautiful... Thank you!

Carmen - First, Happy New Year! Sometimes, spending time with yourself can be a gift, and I think especially at a time of such introspection, it might be a very good way to spend the evening. Second, thank you for the very kind words and for sending people to read my little poem of hope!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to have made your acquaintance and look forward to a developing friendship in 2010.
Blessings to you.
I popped in to wish you a Happy New Year. May your personal sun shine brightly in the coming months.
ReplyDeleteGosh, I am behind in responding to comments!
ReplyDeleteFrom: New Year's Eve:
Bernie - hope you had a great time with your
old friends. I was just fine alone. It
seemed quiet around here. Mostly "older"
folks in my neighborhood...me, I'm old in
years but not in spirit!
Breeze - hope you had a nice evening in with
your daughters...I'm glad Martina chose my
name for the poetry book!
rainfield61 - you welcomed the new year in a
very lovely country! I am so glad I've been
there!
ruma2008 - I love that I've also been to Japan!
Travel is one of the things I love best in
my life though retirement will limit that.
Liss - it wasn't really warm here but not
really cold either. That's what I like
about San Francisco.
Dulce - you are the sweetest person. Much love
to you as well. Isn't Karen's blog great?
Karen - your blogsite is wonderful and I
thought people should check it out. I will
visit it often. Hope the year to come is
wonderful for you.
Valerie - I hope you spent the new year with
loved ones. Blessings and love to you.
