Wine Glass Info

 It is New Years Eve. I am in front of the fire being warm and cozy, drinking my champagne.  As I sit, I examine my champagne glass and the many functions that little glass has. I watched the bubbles sparkle and feel them pop on to my face as they whirled up the glass like a tiny tornado. I draw the glass away from my face so I can smell the fragrance the champagne gives off, mmmm…pears, apricots and honey, a nice combination. I like it maybe too much. The glass has an elegant look to her. Long and sleek. It makes ME feel elegant as well. But then, that is why I picked that glass. I knew I would feel the way the glass looked. I knew I would enjoy the champagne, the way it was meant to be tasted and enjoyed.I turn the bottle upside down to rid it of the few drops it has withheld from me. Luckily, it is gone, even though I shared the experience with another I feel the bubbles go to my head. I still have the night to go.Did your champagne glass matter last night? Did you feel the spray of the bubbles hitting your face? If that did not happen, you might want to open another bottle and take your time enjoying every moment. However, do not drink the whole bottle alone. It is always best to share the experience.Happy New Year!

Another year, a new beginning…?
Many of us will be glad to see this year end. For some it has ended badly with a loss financially, or personally or both. We are in the both column and we still can count our blessings. We are warm, safe,(for now) and have a future ahead of us. Looking at history, I see that it is about to repeat it self. We have not learned any lessons or have taken heed in the warnings our ancestors have tried to convey. I see people giving power to the government instead of the government governed by the people. This frightens me. I will not lift up my champagne glass to last year or the incoming. I will lift up my champagne glass to the people I have lost this year that I loved; I will lift my glass to those who have lost so much, maybe your job, fortune or loved one. My toast to you is this; look around you and be glad for what you do have, I am sure you will find you have great treasures. If it is only a bottle of very fine wine, drink it out of your best wineglass and treasure every sip of it.
Have a safe and Happy New Year!
