New Year’s Eve, Paris
Happy New Year to my visitors from 182 countries around the world! Y’all brought tremendous joy into my life in 2012. My head is exploding like these New Year’s Eve fireworks in Paris that almost 162,000 people visited last year. Wow! Thank you! Bless you!
As I write this post, Comcast’s yule log is creating a festive mood. Candles are burning to fill my apartment with Spirit and hope for 2013. Bitzie has joined me for a long winter’s nap, and the Byrds are tweeting their delight with the holiday music that is playing. This afternoon, they tweeted their first words:
Happy New Year!

Happy New Year ! We may avoid the “cliff” tonight, according to CNN.
Happy New Year, Helen! From CNN’s reporting to God’s ears, eh?
Happy 2013!
Thanks, Joy! May 2013 be filled with an abundance of joy, fitness, and style!
Sending hugs and best wishes,
Anne Carolien
