As people head off for their New Year's Eve activities, I wanted to take a moment to wish you all a joyous, happy and healthy new year.

I just brought my son home from a party my neighbors are throwing as he is feeling ill (here's hoping he doesn't barf in the new year...ewwww!!!). So much for healthy! At least the homemade Mai Tai's are making ME happy!

I am so very thankful for the year I have had, both in the real world and in this wonderful Claynation. I have been so blessed, being able to attend several concerts over the year and even being able to read a story on stage in Connecticut (my FAVORITE state! Good things happen in Connecticut!)

I want to thank all of you for your friendship, your love, your prayers, your ENTHUSIASM and your continued support of Clay. What a wonderful world we live in!

Happy 2008 everyone!

Valerie
