Happy New Year! As we watch the old one go, I’m grateful for so much in my life, my family and friends, my cats, my work. All my travels this past year, especially my trip to Ireland. Broadway!
And, I’m grateful I had my friends in the book world, and all these wonderful books in 2016. It’s the last time to look back.
And, we’re about to look forward. I hope 2017 brings you good health, love and friendship in your life, and good books. I hope you stop back here often. I always enjoy your comments, and learning what you’re reading. Thank you.
So, here’s a toast to you, and a song from an Irish singer. Eamonn McCrystal wrote and performs, “Friends As Yet to Come”.

May all the blessings of the world
Be well within your reach.
And all the days that lie ahead
Be ones of love and peace.
When the midnight falls upon us
And the elder year is done,
We’ll raise a glass to friends of yore
And friends as yet to come.
May seasons of good fortune drift
Along and find you well.
And by this time next New Year’s Eve,
Have you new tales to tell.
Every father, every mother,
Every daughter, every son,
We’ll raise a glass to friends of yore
And friends as yet to come.
Let sweet forgiveness shower down
And fill our hearts with light.
Be slow to anger, quick to love,
And ever full of life.
Let us sing the songs of providence.
Let us speak in kindred tongues.
And raise a glass to friends of yore
And friends as yet to come.
And raise a glass to friends of yore
And friends as yet to come.
