Happy New Year

Hi Everyone:

 There’s no essay for the blog today but there are loads of good wishes to you all

 for a very happy, healthy, and peaceful New Year.

 Special Mention goes out to

 My wonderful husband Ed born on 1/1/33. Happy Birthday!

With each passing year I love you more and more.

 You are my world.

And

 Sean and Nancy on your wedding day, 1/1/11. Congratulations!

May your marriage be long and loving.

So, Friends, raise your glasses high as our world goes global, and shout
