(w)ringing out 2004

It's the eve of the new year, and I'm thinking positive about 2005. I have so much to be thankful for - the charms of life aren't lost on me. '04 was a big year in the life of this blogger: my business continued to go well, I went back to college, I visited South America/Hawaii/Mexico, I took my boyfriend to meet my family back east, I decided (gleefully) to cohabit with said boyfriend, my friends and family are all well and healthy...

My deepest love and worry goes to the other side of the globe - if positive, sincere energy can help bring peace to war- and ocean-torn countries, I'm doing all I can. I hope the darkness of loss fades for all the suffering of the world, even if only for brief moments. What can we do to help?

I'm resolutely anti-resolution. I don't need a change of calendar to prod me to action, but I will say that I feel a new start coming, and I'm eager to see what the new year brings. More soon...

Love and peace to all!
