Dear 2011: A Parting Message









'My Message To 2011'
& my new answer for everything




Dear 2011

You have pushed me to my limit Sir .. Once again I find myself putting pen to paper to question your motives and point out that your behaviour can no longer be tolerated. I am saying goodbye to you dear sir!! There is no more room in my life for your fickle antics and unconscionable tactics. 


I know I spoke similar harsh words to your cousin 2009... You are cut from the same cloth... 'Brothers from another Mother'... You give with one hand and take with the other.. Ok.. I will give credit where it is due.. You did bestow some wonderful gifts... There's no overlooking a trip to Europe nor gifts of a more personal nature which will remain unspoken in such a public forum.. But really you also created much havoc to all and sundry and I think it's time to move on.. 


Don't try and stop me with flattering words or false promises that quite frankly I doubt you can deliver in less than 12 hours..  Any such attempts to sway my decision will demand the forthcoming response..

... As a wise woman once said ... 
'I Four Fourths Don't Care!!'




Have A Wonderful New Year's Eve Everyone
I'm old school and will wait till we ring in the New Year to pass on those wishes



It's been a blast once again
Blogging has brought about some of my most treasured moments of 2011
And AS ALWAYS .. Each of you have brightened my year and lifted my spirits on a daily basis


You're The Best!!!

Julie as a tradition in Sicily we would put dried lentils in our wallet or coin purse or pocket. For prosperity! I am going to give another try. Ciao Rita

As I sit here, drinking my morning coffee and contemplating what tomorrow will bring, the announcement came on the news that Australia rang in the New Year just minutes ago. Naturally, I had to rush right over and share this quote with you:

"We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year's Day." -Edith Lovejoy Pierce

Happy New Year Julie, may your book be filled in this upcoming year with expressions of great joy and happiness.

Much love and hugs to you dear friend, I'll be joining in celebration with you from my side of the sea.
