HAPPY NEW YEAR

WOW. It's like going to a place that you've moved out of. Going to the street you grew up on. Well maybe not that intense but it sure has been a long time since I've actually visited my own blog.

I have so much going on. I've moved, in with the boyfriend, one year now....hehe, and they said it wouldn't last. Actually I was sure that I'd never make a year of living in what begins as someone elses home. But his generous heart has helped (even though I am still usurping my share of the closet).

Then there is the job. Being the administrator of a health care establishment has its trials. I work all the time. Late at night, early in the morning, the weekends. It's my responsibility and it has to run well. A clinic that came to me wrought with problems, it is still in the throws of evolving into something great. I have faith even though it sometimes fails me.

In two weeks we leave for a respite in Costa Rica. Did you hear there was an earthquake there? Not that close to where we are staying but close to where we planned to visit. I am surprised.

However, I've lived not far from the Ramapo Fault in NJ. I remember the earthquake in 1979. I remember wondering why it sounded like a train when there was no train near. I will be listening closely and hoping not to hear the same sound. I just wanted a little relaxing time. Blue skies, waters, maybe some horny sea turtles entwined while floating aimlessly (that's what I saw on my last visit), and some good food and wine.

We'll see.
