As the Dog takes over from the Rooster,
And the lunar calendar resets to a new year,
As friends and relatives visit from far and near,
Here's wishing you prosperity, health and cheer.

Ode to the old year...and new...
Before I begin, here's a confession - YES, procrastination will continue to weigh down on almost everything i do in this new year, as you can tell from the fact that it's already the 14th and here i am posting a blog on the old and new year . . .
Right then, after that little confession, here's my ode to the old year, and the new one:
To babies and births:
As your cry ring out in the maternity ward,
And your grandparents smile with joy,
Your parents must be wondering how to afford,
Your clothes, education and toys.
To the kindred spirits in my life:
To each one of you,
I don't say this enough
But you are truly the Wind Beneath My Wings,
And for the times where I've not answered your calls, mails or messages
Or the times where you've taken crap from me
I'm truly sorry as you deserve much better
But I'm glad you were there and is still here
Life would be impossible without you.
To a good friend who has gone, old friends whom I don't see as often and new friends:
I've heard it said that people come into our lives for a reason
Bringing something we must learn
And we are led to those who help us most to grow, if we let them
And we help them in return...
It well may be that we will never meet again in this lifetime
So let me say before we part
So much of me is made of what I learned from you
You'll be with me like a handprint on my heart
And now whatever way our stories end
I know you have re-written mine
By being my friend...
I'm who I am today because I knew you
...borrowed that from Wicked, the musical
- thank you for all that you've given me
To my clients and (some) bosses at work:
"I gotta get outta here
It's like i'm being tied to the hood of a yellow rental truck
being packed in with fertilizer and fuel oil
pushed over a cliff by a suicidal mickey mouse"
... borrowed from Rent, the musical
Till my next blog . . .
