Bonne Année

Bonne Année will be the two words most uttered by the Parisians in about five (5) hours time i.e. at the stroke of midnight January 1st! My husband, Alfred and I were one of the lucky and privilege ones to be in Paris in 2009 to usher in the New Year, the city of lights.  Paris is indeed one of the most colorful and exciting and definitely romantic places to celebrate New Year's Eve, and both Alfred, my then boyfriend, and I, spent it cuddling at the foot of one of the world's icon, Eiffel Tower, sharing a bottle of champagne. French people start wishing each other cheerful Bonne Annees and exchanging small kisses on each cheek when the clock strikes 12.

Years come and go - New Year's resolutions made but not kept. Countdown this year was done in the comfort of our 'new' home, surrounded by family but this time in Al's absence though he did the countdown with us through the phone. Fireworks went off in the distance with loud bangs - welcoming in Year 2011. This year has flown - there were ups and downs as like other years - let's just pray that this year will be a good year for all of us again - spiritually and naturally!
