Happy New Year

Posted on Thursday 29 December 2005

As we enter 2006, Virtual Hudson Valley wishes you

A year of cold colds and warm hots and clear definitions, straight answers and problems solved.

A year of powerful inspirations.

A year of ideas absorbed, digested, and reborn fresh with perspective.

A year of debate.

A year of compromise.

A year of universal respect for the ideas of others.

A year’s rest from lying.

A year’s rest from laziness.

A year’s rest from destructive ambitiousness.

A year’s reprise from rooting for political parties as if they were football teams.

A year in which intelligence outweighs the irrational.

A year in which honest emotion resonates comfortably in you.

A year of hard work well rewarded.

Happy new year.
