May your 2010...

...find you happy and healthy and employed

...bring you many moments of great joy

...introduce you to at least ten movies and ten CDs and ten books that touch and move you

...shower you with hugs and kisses from people who love you

...give you meals that comfort you and also food that makes you rethink everything you thought you knew about eating

...teach you new things about yourself--but without the pain that so often accompanies such lessons

...make you laugh until you hurt

...make you cry with happiness and joy

...let you experience the wonders of both giving and receiving random acts of kindness

...show you art that astonishes you

...give you the courage say "I love you" often and with meaning to those you love--and to fully appreciate the honest affection when they say it to you

...usher you and those you love safely into 2011
