I don't know...

Good Morning.

It is the last day of the "old" year, and the beginning of the new on for those of us who are of the Jewish persuasion.

I have many hopes for the new year, some of them are little and inconsequential, some of them are large and lofty.

For my family members...
I wish happiness and health-... Mom, I wish that your pain would be GONE. You are such an amazing lady, I am proud to call you Mom, thank you for your support, I wish you continued health. For my sister, brother-in-law and nephew, I wish a wonderful year filed with lots of joy and many firsts.. Sam I hope to get to hear/see the band in person this season.  Rebecca and Andy- thank you for all you do, and for your support during the past year of Sandy turmoil.

For my new friends...
I wish all of us peace and continued energy in the efforts we put forth to help others.. work hard and play hard, hug a little, cry a bit and keep on keeping on... what we are doing is sooo important.

I just read a blog that someone wrote about "Sandy school"  it was amazing- she put the storm into the eyes of a  new kindergarten student, and it really touched home for me...I am learning so much about myself from the experiences of the past ten months.. some of it I like, some not so much... but I am learning and I hope to grow with the knowledge that I acquire each day. I hope that we never have to experience anything like this storm again, the lessons learned have been incredible and have been written in indelible ink, many of them I wish I never had to learn, but I will hold onto the new knowledge and use it as I soldier on in my life.

L'Shana Tova...
