It is time to go back to work fortified with a new spirit. On New Year’s Day we had the traditional, for us being of southern origin, black-eyed peas, cornbread and greens for good luck. We should be covered for the year…knocks on wood.
All in all I would rate it as a top notch holiday. All the kids were home for Christmas and survived the New Year celebration without serious mishap.
I’m really trying to be positive to at least two more months of bracing cold, wind, snow and various other Midwestern winter enjoyments. However, as each year passes my desire to be in a warmer climate grows; one of the small latitudes eastern Caribbean islands would be nice. And it doesn’t help that two good friends have just arrived in San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua for the winter. But I will try to be nice about it. Happy New Year!
