my tradition is to create a new years mix to share with all my friends. i've been collecting music like crazy and haven't been able to put the thing together yet . . . so in the interim, i'd like to share a few songs that may or may not appear on the "official" New Year 2008 Mix but that i really love and would like you to hear.
my mother sent me the text of this toast, and i'd like to dedicate it to you, my dear readers.
At the sound of the tolling midnight bell a brand new year will begin.
Let's raise our hopes in a confident toast, to the promise it ushers in.
May your battles be few; your pleasures many, your wishes and dreams fulfilled.
May your confidence stand in the face of loss and give you the strength to rebuild.
May peace of heart fill all your days, may serenity grace your soul.
May tranquil moments bless your life, and keep your spirit whole.
