thoughtfulThis past year has been an absolute roller coaster ride. High points have included my first-ever visit to Australia (and winning the CAMPBELL AWARD OMG), publishing not one, but three books, under two different names, a good half-dozen conventions, ranging from the massive (San Diego forever!) to the small and intimate (Spocon rules!), winning my third Pegasus Award, and finishing three more books. I never said I was all that fond of sleep. Low points have included exhaustion, travel woes, illness, and throwing my back out. On the balance, I'm calling it a win.
Whether today is the beginning of your year, the beginning of your holiday season, or just another Monday, I wish all the best to you and yours. May your days be sweet, your fires be warm, and your skies be filled with stars.
Happy New Year.

First of all *hugs* to you for your year on both ends of the spectrum.
I acknowledge a number of "New Years" and find them all relevant and useful in various ways, but what do you expect from someone who's basically a relativist :). Your mentioning this one, takes me instantly to the words of Susan Cooper in The Dark is Rising series with the line On the day of the dead when the year too dies :).
Thank you for the good wishes and I wish you a wonderful year of the same full of joy and wonderment.
