<\/a>I only wish I could attend a NYE soiree as fun as this one!<\/p><\/div>\n
As this year ends, what better time for us all to reflect on our personal highlights of this past year?\u00a0 Despite the facts that, horrifically, Covid is still going strong, and lawlessness abounds everywhere, I’m hoping that all of you had at least a few<\/em> good moments in 2022. Remembering times and situations to be grateful for is good for our souls, and really fun, as well.<\/p>\n Being pretty superstitious, there are a couple of rituals I do every New Year\u2019s Day. (One of them Mr. X and I do every month<\/em>!) And, since I always wish good luck to all the good people of the world, I’m sharing my This first one involves a specific<\/em> wish, and has to be done tomorrow night and<\/em> the following morning. On the last night of each month, (which includes tomorrow night, of course,) when you get into bed, think of the one wish you most want to come true, and keep it in your mind as you drift-off to sleep. In the morning, (which is day one of the new<\/em> month; in tomorrow’s case, the new year<\/em>, making it the most important wish for a while,) the first thing you must say is \u201cRabbit.\u201d<\/p>\n Next, for general monthly good luck, right after you say that first \u201cRabbit,\u201d (on Sunday, in this case,) kind-of pop-off the end of the bed, (I just scootch down to the end with my butt and gently propel myself off,) while saying \u201cRabbit\u201d three times.<\/p>\n Remember to do my good luck rituals.<\/p><\/div>\n And then the special New Year\u2019s Day trick is to eat black-eyed peas any time that day. They can be canned, frozen, fresh, whatever. You can eat as many or as few as you like, whether hot or cold. I just heat them up in the microwave for a minute, sprinkle on some seasoned salt, and choke-down about half a cup of those suckers. It\u2019s once a year\u2013if I<\/em> can stand it, you surely can.<\/p>\n Besides all that, just have fun this entire week-end. End 2022 on the most positive of notes, and then kick-off 2023 by doing something fun, constructive, or just plain old relaxing before the usual grind begins anew on Monday. And start thinking of how to celebrate the birth of yours truly on the 14th! Just sayin’.<\/p>\n insanities<\/del> practices with you once again, as I have done for the many years of this e-zine’s existence.<\/p>\n<\/a>
