Cheers to You and Yours

Merry Christmas Seattle

As not just a year but an entire decade comes to an end, there’s a certain feeling that one should look back on the last ten years and reflect on the highs, the lows and the changes. And while I have a lot of great memories with friends and family and I’ve grown immensely as a person in that time, I don’t want to spend time looking back. I’m looking forward to the next ten years, to finally getting back to the east coast and seeing all my friends out there (love you guys!), to exploring my new home state and region of the country and to making new friends and sharing new experiences with all my friends and family, old and new.

Cheers to all, wishing you health, happiness and inner peace in the new year and the new decade. May the best of your past be the worst of your future.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Ringing in 2009

The view out

As the year comes to a close, it’s common to look back on what has happened; the good, the bad, the mistakes, the victories. I prefer to look forward. Forward to my plans for the new year, and to what I hope will transpire. Here in the U.S. we have a new president, so I’m sure we’ll be seeing quite a few changes in the next year. I will be getting a new job (I WILL!) and hopefully doing some travel, seeing new places.

So I’d like to make a toast,
To new beginnings,
To new escapades with old friends,
And to new friends we have not yet met,
May the best of your past be the worst of your future.
Welcome 2009!
