As I read your comment I realized that the traditional way to cast the I Ching is with sticks!<br /><br />This past year I was bludgeoned with beauty, wonder and awe at least as much as with sorrow. Marvels and perils.<br /><br />As for the year ahead, anything could happen. I'm counting on the sunrises and sunsets, but beyond that? All bets are off!Reya Mellickerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13076092659507965666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607471777855707790.post-2662376236109397992011-01-01T19:47:18.674-05:002011-01-01T19:47:18.674-05:00love that you went to the bar. that would be fun. ...love that you went to the bar. that would be fun. haven't been in a very long time either. would love to have been having a dry Absolute martini with you in the big stemmed glass with three fat olives!

That was my message from God via his angels.

Now that I think of it, perhaps the stars lined up for us not to have much work so I could be there for my daughter and my sister.
