New Year's Eve
The end of the year. The last day of 2007. The eve of new beginning. What are your New Year promises? Is it fair of me to ask you since I do not know what mine will be!
Some of my New Year promises I have kept, though most were broken by the end of the week... The ones I did manage to keep have stayed with me. Well actually only one New Year promise has stayed with me... wearing a seat belt.
Let's make a toast to the New Year.
May our glasses never be empty.
May we know we are loved.
At the end of the day may our glass be full of hope.
May whatever comes our way lead us to be a better person.

Happy New Year Corey!

big big hugs to you and the family...

Happy New Year to you, too, Corey. I wish for you a year of creativity and inspiration and new opportunities to express and show your artwork and words. And of course lots o' love and happiness! PS- Wearing a seatbelt is a very, very good resolution.

I'm thinking that if you were a better person, then you'd surely be an angel, my friend. Happy New Year Corey!

Happy New Year Corey!!!!!

Happy New Year Corey! I see by my world clock that you will be celebrating the new year and kissing French Husband in approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes. We have 8 hours and 20 minutes to go. Tonight 20 teenagers are coming to celebrate and swim in the heated pool! The temperature is supposed to be in the 20's!! My promise is to live in the moment and my word for the new year is "wisdom". It could be a fascinating year. May your wishes continue to come true!

Much happiness to you and your family in the coming year, Corey. You are well-deserving of the publishing world's attention. I've always thought that your photos were magazine worthy. I hope that they also include your thoughtful commentary along with the photos. Together, they are Corey Amaro - a true gift to all of us out there in Bloglandia.

Corey...To you I wish a Happy & safe New Year...and many more to follow.

YOu've said it and showed it with perfection dear Corey. May the New YEar bring you Love, prospersity, and blessings beyond your dreams. BTW I loved seeing your home and reading the article that went with it in Victoria Bliss. I had to run right out to buy it when I read about it being in Victoria at your blog that day. COngrats to you!

Happy New Year Corey! May your glass always be half full! What a wonderful year it has been getting to know you!

Corey-happy and healthy 2008 to you and your family and to fellow commenters!
My resolution is to be more diligent with last year's resolution: "Lots to to think and pray about, nothing to worry about". I originally heard this quote on Ty Pennington's home makeover show and it certainly makes sense.
Posted by:martina | 31 December 2007 at 06:49 PM
Well said! Happy New Year to you and yours. May the coming 2008 be abundantly filled with blessings.

I got the Victoria magazine! Inspired, Corey! And my resolution is to pray each night with my husband like I do with my daughter.

One rule I live by is to nver break a promise. So I make none on New Year's eve, therfore I break none in the New Year! Happy New Year Corey.

oops! to LEARN TO DE-STRESS, not TAKE DE-STRESS (I think I just proved my point... always in such a rush)! lol
Posted by:beachy | 31 December 2007 at 04:11 PM
My New Year's resolution? In all honesty, to learn to take de-stress and take that time to listen more to God (I'm sure the two go hand in hand)!
Happy New Year to you and your dear family, Corey!
Posted by:beachy | 31 December 2007 at 04:10 PM

1. to raise a teacup with friends more often.
2. to take more photographs.
3. to go to more tea rooms.
4. to visit more antique stores and blog about them.
5. to eat a real macaron, now that Carol has me addicted to them (well, photos of them!lol)and I've never eaten one I hadn't made myself (i.e. a Frenchie macaron!)
