goodbye, 2008! and here's to a bountiful, bokehful New Year!

BETTER IF VIEWED LARGE ON BLACK

 

i would like to start

with this one small moment

to say goodbye to 2008

i can't begin to say in words

the wonders of the friendships

this year has brought into my life

the many Thursdays

my cup has runneth over

the immeasurable joy

of seeing someone take pride

in being the first to comment

as if it was a real badge of honor

the endless inspirations i got

from so many diverse faces of beauty

i gaze back and forward

and i look into this small moment

to say goodbye to 2008

and to say THANK YOU

for the magnificent friends

you all have become

 

i am hopeful that 2009

will be as blessed for all of us

and maybe more

 

HAPPY NEW YEAR, my friends!
