May the New Year be as spectacular a year as the Blue Moon.
A full moon occurred on Dec. 2, 2009 and will appear again to ring in the New Year. The last time this happened on New Year's Eve was 19 years ago.
A blue moon is the second full moon in a month.

Thoughts on the New Year
My granddaddy clipped from newspapers and magazines and pasted into a datebook articles, saying and advice. To a stranger, that book would give a glimpse into the soul of who he was, My daddy did it too although his clippings were apt to be found tucked many places including between pages of his bible. Mine reside on my computer to be brought up and used in speeaches or to give me private encourgement and joy. Here are a couple of them relating to the upcoming New Year.
"Let this coming year be better than all the others. Vow to do some of the things you've always wanted to do but couldn't find the time. Call up a forgotten friend. Drop an old grudge, and replace it with some pleasant memories. Vow not to make a promise you don't think you can keep. Walk tall, and smile more. You'll look ten years younger. Don't be afraid to say, 'I love you'. Say it again. They are the sweetest words in the world." Ann Landers
"We spend January 1 walking through our lives, room by room, drawing up a list of work to be done, cracks to be patched. Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives... not looking for flaws, but looking for potential." Ellen Goodman
