Just wanted to let you all off the hook.  Day of badness hath come and gone. Back in 1994 on that day, I was in the Northridge earthquake, then in 1995 on the same day the Kobe/Osaka earthquake happened. Several other ‘bad’ things occurred on this day in my life of which I don’t want to recite, so I have taken to hunkering down for one full day. Not wishing anyone I love to be near me and my string of bad luck on this day. When I wake up on January 18th every year, I breathe a sigh of relief nowadays. So, it is with that in which I breathe in, then out slowly. Counting every single blessing.

January 18th, 2010…still breathing freely and happily
