Been naughty or nice? Neither. I've been more generous to those turning their lives around after hitting bottom, and to agencies helping families living with cancer, but I've been disappointed in most of my social peers, and have been gravitating toward a more cerebral, social and progressive group of folk.
What are you wishing for in 2008? The silly political season to end here, a fruitful organic garden, opportunities to serve, leap and enlist to strengthen the local community, continued friendship and fun with my new friends.
