happy new year to you, too, miss t!

i'm glad you liked my janus blog -- i thought it would be a nice thing to have for the new year.

i have to admit i have a more than passing acquaintance with egyptian lore, you know. one of my favorite periods of history is 13th c. bce -- although i am more interested in the greek and minoans, but the egyptians were such an important culture then that you can't help but learn about them too. in a way, you and i are like neighbors! *grin*

is that first hieroglyphic derived from a person raising their arms, or from something like hathor's headdress? it's cool-looking, in either case. (i like the idea that "happy new year" depicts a joyful person and a string instrument...of course that's just what they look like to me! lol)

i'll be back later on -- hope you'll still be around but if not:

*confetti tossing*
*horn tooting*
*glass raising*

happy new year to you! :D

btw, your chime always startles me! :D

MissTottenham said...

Thank you everybody. Happy new year to you all.

TJ, the first sign is a combination of animal horns and a palm branch stipped of leaves. the second sign is the heart and lungs.

I just posted this in blogbelieve land. It may get lost, so here it is:

MissT, I wish you all the best. Know that we will all be cheering you on. If you get discouraged, think of us. It will make you pause and smile. Then come back and tell us about the day. You can even streak if you want too. ;)

Love you.


That's it! Hang in there sweetie. We all love you.
