Happy New Year! I hope and pray that everybody has a wonderful upcoming year and that the troubles and woes of last year are behind you. Goodness knows that with all the problems that I'm having these days, I'm looking forward to 2010 to be a banner year!

Happy New Year to everyone from Western Australia.. can report that New Years morning is coolish, but predicted to get very warm later on.

Happy New Year, everyone! It's an hour into 2010 here in Costa Rica. Bombitos were being let off sporadically all day. Bombitos are fireworks that give a big explosion and a lot of smoke, but no real 'show'. As midnight approached, more and more of these were being set off. They drove every dog in the country to cowering under the nearest table ~ or my dog at least! People were partying out in their front yards, laughing, dancing salsa, singing and drinking cervezas. Then at midnight, every house set bombitos off, along with pretty ooo-and-ahhh fireworks. At one point the street was so filled with smoke, you could only see 100 metres. This went on for a solid half hour. Being in the valley, we could see all the displays from houses on the mountains, it was awesome. A wonderful evening, spent with my next door neighbours, and a real show of how Costa Rica celebrates New Year's.

May everyone have a wonderful new year in 2010. Feliz Año a todos!

Happy New Year to one and all. It's now nearly 7.30am and I think I need a couple of aspirin and a gallon of coffee

Happy New Year everyone. May everyone who had a great 2009 carry on in the same vein. Those who had a rotten 2009, may 2010 be everything that last year wasn't.

I just got this quote on Facebook and hope it inspires everyone who sees it for the new decade.

"January 1, 2010 Loss of basic freedoms has spurred a mass awakening and the next decade will be defined by restoration of liberties"

I can only hope, happy new year!

Here is a quote from Mark Twain concerning the dawn of a new year:

New Year's Day--Now is the accepted time to make your regular annual good resolutions. Next week you can begin paving hell with them as usual. Yesterday, everybody smoked his last cigar, took his last drink, and swore his last oath. Today, we are a pious and exemplary community. Thirty days from now, we shall have cast our reformation to the winds and gone to cutting our ancient shortcomings considerably shorter than ever. We shall also reflect pleasantly upon how we did the same old thing last year about this time. However, go in, community. New Year's is a harmless annual institution, of no particular use to anybody save as a scapegoat for promiscuous drunks, and friendly calls, and humbug resolutions, and we wish you to enjoy it with a looseness suited to the greatness of the occasion.
- Letter to Virginia City Territorial Enterprise, Jan. 1863
