New Year inventory

Reading Grace Davis's first post of 2007 reminded me to note that 2006 was a very good year in my family. Everyone who was alive at the end of last year is still with us at the beginning of this one, although my dad, who I still call The Miracle Man, gave cause for concern in the spring. We all seem to be getting on better too, though slowly -- that's something else to be grateful for.  

I just bought $500 of new clothes at the Gap on the web, a nice way to begin a new year, I think. I'm always resolved to do better, so to make resolutions at the beginning of the year seems like more of the same. Indulging and celebrating, now that's different. And buying stuff after Christmas means you get much more bang for the buck.
