The only thing missing from the celebration is Mike Piazza
But not any more:
MAY THE AMAZIN’S GO ALL THE WAY!
*******
AND NOW ON TO MY ALREADY SCHEDULED POST!
In honor of the Jewish New Year which begins this weekend, I thought I would offer you all a 
gift
Shana Tovah
May your hair, your teeth, your face-lift, your abs, and your stocks not fall .
And may your blood pressure, your triglycerides, your cholesterol, your white blood count and your mortgage interest not rise.
May you get a clean bill of health from your dentist, your cardiologist, your gastroenterologist, your urologist, your proctologist, your podiatrist, your psychiatrist, your plumber, and the IRS.
May you find a way to travel from anywhere to anywhere during rush hour in less than an hour, and when you get there may you find a parking space.
May this Yom Tov, find you seated around the dinner table, together with your beloved family and cherished friends, ushering in the Jewish New Year ahead.
May what you see in the mirror delight you, and what others see in you delight them.
May the telemarketers wait to make their sales calls until you finishdinner, may your checkbook and your budget balance, and may they include generous amounts for charity.
May you remember to say “I love you” at least once a day to your partner, your child, and your parent(s). You can say it to your secretary, your nurse, your butcher, your photographer, your masseuse, your seamstress, your hairdresser or your gym instructor, but not with a “twinkle” in your eye.
May we live as intended, in a world at peace with the awareness of the beauty in every sunset, every flower’s unfolding petals, every baby’s smile and every wonderful, astonishing, miraculous part of ourselves.
Bless you with every happiness, great health, peace and much love during the next year and all those that follow.
Amen.
Carly Phillips would like to take 100% credit for all her stories but the truth is, Carly’s strength is writing family, emotion, funky elderly people and animals. She couldn’t plot her way out of a paper bag, which is why she smartly found her plotmonkey pals early on in her writing career. Thanks to their support, Carly is now a NYT Bestselling author of 23 plus novels. Because writing doesn’t keep her busy enough, Carly is also a wife, a mother of one preteen and one teenage daughter, the primary care giver of her soft coated Wheaten terrier and an expert carpool mom.

What a lovely blessing. Thank you. As my mother always says “I wish you enough” She signs every card to me that way.
Enough sun to keep your attitude bright
Enought rain to appreciate the sun
Enough happiness to keep your spirit alive
Enough pain to appreciate all your joys
Enough loss to appreciate all you possess
Enough hello’s to get you through the final goodbye’s
I wish you enough.

What a wonderful post. Thank you so much for the blessings.
My prayer for you:
May the joy of family and friends flow into your heart with much warmth and happiness this year.
I prayer for blessing in your writing like you have never known, yet still to remain the wonderful person that you are.
I also prayer that the desires of your heart, the very ones that you have had within you from a child would come to pass this year and you will feel the love of God pouring out on you and your family during that time.
And last, but not least, I prayer that you will recognize the kisses of God upon your face in all the good things in your life, including that parking space you needed.
Happy New Year!!!

(at the Dodger/Mets game in L.A. in June)
and this picture that I took when I was fortunate enough to be parked next to his car at a Celebrity Hockey game in late August. I asked him if I could take his picture and while I was focusing my camera I babbled something about the Mets(he is wearing a Mets cap backward)

Thanks for the great response. I am post-season psyched!
Rose, you’re a Vartan-Ho? Me too! The second link didn’t work. The first one w/all the MV pics made my day!

I am trying to take it one game at a time, but we’re all hoping for a subway series. I remember getting NO sleep in 2000! Wow. Long time ago.

Yes, Carly I’m Vartanho #1430.
Here is the correct link.

as I said in the previous link. I was parked next to his car at a hockey game in late August. After the game he signed autographs and took pictures. I didn’t bug him until he came towards his car. He put his stuff in the trunk and when he was at the drivers side we said hi he said hi and I asked him if I could take his picture. He was very sweet and polite and waited until I could focus my camera while I was doing that I started babbling about the Mets.
About Mike Piazza I saw the games when he went back to Shea and was totally suprised at the greeting that he got. It was realy amazing the way the fans greeted him back.
Comment
Yes, another Mets fan!!! Thank you!!!! LOL I got the Division champs shirt today. . . kind of snug, but the other two I got are just fine.
