Dear Family,
Warm greetings from us for a happy new year. As I look back, I see that the year 2011 was not all that bad. My stocks plummeted in value, lower back pain got worse, just two speeding and a few parking tickets, broke an expensive antique ( I should know, I paid for it) at a vacation home, cancelled two out of three vacations because my boss wanted a report, hints of irritable bowl syndrome followed by more reports to my boss, and to top it all a frequent unexplained allergy to work. Other than that life has been dandy and peachy.
I recommend that you all read "Love for no reason" by Marci Shimoff as you begin another successful year in your life. She says in her book that "when you experience love for no reason, you no longer look outside yourself to get love. You stop being a love beggar and become a love philanthropist, dispensing love, kindness and goodwill wherever you go. Let us get the unconditional love mojo going again'"'. Well, I am getting teary eyed.
The year 2011 was kind of tumultuous in a way (if you skipped the beginning of my email please read again) but ended on a pleasant note. The wine club where I am a member held a lottery earlier this week and I won 24 bottles of heavenly red wine on the Christmas day. There is hope after all for the beleaguered.
I wish you all and your families a fun filled year in 2012. Since most of you are prosperous and peaceful there is no need for me to heap more of the same on you. Just keep your sense of humor in play and my crystal ball tells me that all is going to be swell.
Cheers and good luck

I have occasional allergies to work too, maybe this is genetic.
