HAPPY NEW YEAR...

wE ARE EXACTLY THREE HOURS INTO THE NEW YEAR. IN THOSE THREE HOURS, i HAD MY FIRST "BUZZ" FROM CHAMPAGNE, TWO PLATE FULL OF FABULOUS SOUL FOOD....AT A PARTY IN haCKENSACK. i WAS INVITED AGAIN, WITH BARBARA...MY DEAR FREIND....AND A FEW PEOPLE I KNOW.....AND THE REST OF THE CROWD, WERE ALL WONDERFUL AND WARM AND ACCEPTING. THERE WERE JUDGEDS, POLICEMEN,LAYERS, DRS, TACHERS, A SCHOOL PRINCIPAL, A NURSE, AN ENGLISH TEACHER......PEOPLE WHO OWNED A LAUNERMAT N THE BRONX.....ETC. eVERY ONE WAS SO VERY WARM, THAT IT WAS AN ECHANTING EVENING.
i FOUND IT VERY EASY TO INTRODUCEMYSELF TO PEOPLE.....MAYBE IT WAS A COMBINATION OF THERI WARMTH, AND THAT i QUICKLY DOWN A GLASS OF RED WINE AND A CHAMPAGNE. wHEN NEW YEARS CAME, THE HOSTESS ASKED EVERYONE TO STAND UP AND SAY SOMETHING.. i WAS NUMBER 4 ON THE LIST. i ONLY NEW 6 PEOPLE OUT OF 50.....AND i WAS REALLY BUZZED AT THIS POINT...
oUT OF THIS GROUP THERE WERE THREE WHITE PEOPLE, AND THE REST WERE AFRICAN AMERICANS. aND i HAD TO SAY SOMETHING.....tHE LITTLE VOICE IN MY HEAD SAID FOLLOW YOUR HEART WHICH i DID. tHE FIRST THING i SAID, WAS HUMOROUS. "my nEW yEARS rESOLUTION WAS THAT i WOULD TAKE UP DRINKING...WHICH YOU CAN SEE AND HEAR I DID!!!
i CONTINUED....2009 HAS BEEN A VERY ROUGH YEAR FOR MANY PEOPLE.. becuase of the economy, the war, and I know a few people here lost love ones. But we must remember, that 2009 saw something that we all have been waiting for our entiure lives. We have elected the most awesome man to bcome president.(I didnt mention BLACK man...but awesome man, which is the way I view OBAMA).
I continues. I want to toast the NEW year...toast all of you and toast our new president and wish everyone a very healthy and happy new year."

On the way home, BArabar told me that her PSYCHIC freind MAureen told her, two or three days before I went to the heart DR, that I was going to have trouble with my heart, but not to worry.....beucase it will not be that serious... Barbara, then came over with a tray of food, just to look at me and see what was going on. That is when my face was puffy...and before I was put on water pills...Her psychic freind is for real.
