Goodbye 2006, Great Year of the Dog

I was born in 1970, year of the dog. I didn't know there were different kinds, but there are and this year I found out that I am a White Metal Dog and that although 2006 was officially the Year of the Red Fire Dog, I reaped plenty of doggie benefits. There are some of you who think I am hogging the happiness pie (this means YOU, Marla in Colorado.) Normally I would poo-poo this kind of statement, but I must admit we are looking suspiciously fat and happy. I have lived long enough to know that the pendulum will shift and life will even me out, but this year... what a wowzer. I was blessed with enough work to enjoy my relationship to the extent that I was able to get my creative venture even further off the ground. Silas was made. We had to move house which we were very upset about only to get a house in a location beyond our wildest dreams. I had one of the best vacations home to Colorado that I have ever had, just loving up all my family and friends - only to return to find that my big wish of the last 3 years had come true - you know what that is 'cause that's what this blog is all about:) Silas was born. Evan was born. November 7 was a Great day:) and Now with the holidays thoroughly enjoyed and over, I say so long to one of the greatest years ever. Thank you thank you thank you to the Universe, I am grateful for everyone and everything.
