after last nights pity party i found a little book that i just love. it's a compilation of words of wisdom from your garden variety, run of the mill, regular folk. real people with real lives. smart people who have found that the meaning of life, which sometimes seems so elusive, is most often manifest in the simple things that make up our days. things like...
sharpie markers with perfect points.

my favorite one is by irwin lieberman, 61, from florida...
being of the jewish faith, i had my bar mitzvah on my thirteenth birthday. the only gift i remember was from my uncle irving, my mother's only sibling. the gift was a prayer. i now teach hebrew school and am often invited to bar mitzvah cremonies and receptions. i offer each of my students the same prayer my uncle gave me. it's meaning holds the power of revealing true happiness..."i pray that you have everthing in life you want, but more important, i pray you want everything in life you have."
may we all be so wise and so blessed in the coming year.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
with love
