greetings

One of the great things about days we celebrate is that it gives you an excuse to check on your friends, some of whom you may not be in touch with a lot through the year. After the phone calls I received and the ones I made, the stack of emails I yet have to answer reminds me that there are people around the world who care enough to think of me at such times ... it fills me with joy ... I just finished answering the ones I had received before the New Year, the others I will eventually get to ... what a wonderful chore to have on your to-do list!
