Giorno Quaranta

The beachside cabin where we had our "couples hot-stone massage".

The sun poked its head out this morning. That's how I feel about life right now. Some brightness has set in. Pockets of light.

I'll have more to report on later today. It's only about 10:00 am as of now.

In the meantime, I just wanted to wish you all a joyful New Year. I truly hope 2009 will help bring us all closer to our goals. I'll keep trying to better myself and to be a supportive member of our community - just as you have all been to me. :-) Thank you one and all.
