Those who were with me on the old blog know that this is the day that I remember those that I've lost this year and rejoice in what I've gained. Feel free to list your own if you'd like.
What I've Lost
Mackenzie (May 1999 - April 2006)
Devlin (April 6, 2005 - April 11, 2006)
Mom (November 15, 1928 - October 14, 2006)
My Uncle Richard (July 7, 1924 - December 5, 2006)
And please dear Lord, I just received a phone call that my beloved Uncle Bill is in the hospital with pneumonia. This man is like a father to me. I blogged about his 60th Wedding anniversary just a couple of weeks ago. Let me not have to add his name for a few more years.
What I gained. If you don't see your name here, it's because we "met" before January 1, 2006. In alphabetical order:
Anne; Bernita; Carol; Cece; Christine; Cryna; Daisy; Deana; Devon; Dru; Fannie; Jason; Jeanne; Kelley; Kelly; Kelly (um, think I have enough Kelly's?); Lis; Loreth; Marty; Meretta; Michele; Raine; Saskia; Sue.
But most of all today, I want to say Happy Birthday Olga!!!!! You deserve so much that is wonderful and good in this world. I hope 2007 brings you happiness, security, satisfaction, respect, joy, contentment, prosperity ...
I don't always make New Year's resolutions, but this year I am resolving to finish a book in 2007.
Happy New Year's everyone.

Aw, sweetie. I've gained you too. I'm really touched to see myself listed there. I'm sorry it's been such a hard year for you and hope that 2007 and is much kinder.
Yay you're going to finish a book! Well, what are you waiting for? Get cracking.
I lost my kitty, Pennie, this year. She was nineteen.
I've gained many new, on line friends! I've enjoyed visiting with you, Bailey, and everyone here.
Uncle Bill will be in my thoughts. I hope he will be feeling better soon.
Happy Birthday, Olga!
Good luck on your book, Bailey! I know you can do it!
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
Awww Bailey, that's nice of you to include me on your list and I count you as a new friend gained.
I wish you a great and wonderful 2007 and you will finish your book. We will be here if you need an extra push.
Happy Birthday Olga
It sure has been a tumultuous year for you. I hope you get some peace this year and maybe a Superbowl victory.
Get the book finished. Pleas.
Sending prayers out for Uncle Bill! What a great resolution to finish a book in 2007. That was mine for 2006 -- to finish. Happy New Year, Bailey!
I'm so happy you are going back to writing! You've made my new year brighter already. My wish for you is that the New Year bring you all you desire and then some. Happy New Year!
I will be praying for your Uncle Bill.
Happy Birthday, Olga!
May you enjoy a bright and happy New Year, Bailey, filled with great joy; the comforting warmth of love; good health and wellbeing; the delight of true friendship; and enough of whatever you want and need to fulfill your deepest dreams and desires.
Thank you for being a part of my life this past year and making it so much richer!
Happy New Year for tonight!
You take care.
Happy New Years everyone!
Yes, I'm starting on the book soon. I promise (although not this week - I'll tell you more about that later).
Bailey, hugs on all your losses! And thank you so much for remembering my birthday - it means the world to me, and for all the good words! And thank you to everybody for their good wishes!
