Happy New Year

I don't know where the summer went, but here we are, face-to-face with the Jewish New Year -- a time of reflection (something I don't get much time to do, normally!)...

I am grateful for so much right now.  This has been an enormous year of growth for me, not necessarily in the areas that I normally would have predicted, but certainly in my exploration of areas less professional, less "formal" and more fun.  There is great joy and wealth in that, and I thank you all for encouraging me to participate more and more in this community.  I hope that the next year brings even more deepening of relationships, and exploration of creativity.  It's truly a blessing.

To everybody on my f-list, I wish you a year of health, happiness, peace, and success.

Much love --

M

Happy New Year to you! And may it be filled with dreams and strength and all kinds of good things.

(Also, my sincere admiration - I barely know how to deal with atheist New Year... it always seems to come too soon. I think having yet another, and earlier new year on top of that would drive me utterly crazy! Right now, I think I'm mentally stuck in February LAST year.)

Thank you! *hugs

Well, I don't do much about the secular New Year, so this one takes up plenty of my time :) I can't believe it's Rosh Hashona time, either -- I'm still catching up from last Spring! :D

~hugs~ Happy New Year to you and your family! I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to get to know you this last year, and honored to have been able to work with you. :-)

I wish you a beautiful new year filled with blessings!

*hugs you hard

I feel the same way, my dear! I hope that the new year is peaceful for all of us, there's been way too much tumult...

May good health and prosperity come to visit your family and stay for a long, long time.

Amen, and for you, too. And dryness. Lots of dryness -- water should stay safely contained in containers or natural materials designated as such. :)

*hugs you... and I need to email you, I'm sorry -- I've been so behind on things!

Nothing but the same wishes to you too, my dear.

*hugs... thank you! I loved your Rosh Hashona post but ran out of time to comment, so I'm sorry about that! I hope you have a wonderful year. :)
