A Good Laugh

Ordering tickets by phone for an upcoming jazz performance. Supplying the receptionist with my credit card number.  She requesting the expiry date.  Reading out 12/12 to her, then immediately bursting into laughter.  Explaining my behaviour to this bewildered woman.  Noting my card will expire in December 2012.  Coinciding perfectly with the "end of the world".  Talk about synchronicity.  Not in agreement with that pessimistic prediction, but definitely appreciating the good laugh it prompted! 

Promising Year

A year filled with promise and adventure.  Becoming a grandmother, travelling, and continuing to write.  Looking forward to many rewarding times ahead.  Embracing further change.  Without that intense spiking energy present this time last year.  Sensing a lighter, less dense quality to the beginning of 2012.
