**** Thank you, Rick, it was really an excellent moment tonight. It is hard to find words. I re-read all the entries that had been printed out onto separate sheets of paper and joined in gratitude for each and every one.

There were folks from all parts of the globe of all different faiths and all ages...a bit of everything.

One of my friends in Australia decided to have an Impromptu Gratitude Ceremony at the same time...so she was earlier evening in the Summer time on New Years Day and I was midnight on New Years Eve in the Winter (even though it IS California and I was barefoot without even a jacket on!) and it was humbling to think of Barbara doing her Ceremony half way around the world while I did mine...which is really OURS.

*Sigh* I am starting to ramble!

I simply am grateful for ALL of you here....

Here is to 2002!

With Purpose and Passion,

Julie Jordan Scott
