Happy New Year!

I love this time of year. The weather gets so invigorating. September-October has always felt more like the “New Year” than December (Yes, I realize it is the Jewish New Year, but this is the first time I am really thinking about it). The fresh, crisp, cool air awakens me. New York is good in the Fall, especially at night. September is the new school year and that will always be ingrained in me. New backpack, new clothing, what’s not to love?! Halloween is basically my “New Years Party”.  I’ve always enjoyed Halloween. I hope when I’m 40 I’ll be married to a hot man and will be living in a big lovely house or fabulous duplex apartment and I will throw a grand Halloween party…every year! Hey…I can dream. I mean, does anyone actually enjoy running around in 20 degree weather in the dead of winter…at midnight!? Not I. There’s nothing new about January 1^st. It’s nice…peaceful, and quiet. Good for snuggling and hot cocoa. But September is new.
