Since I don't know enough of your story yet -- the idea of a phone call gives me pause. When did you last have an in person visit, a phone call or any kind of contact?? And how did she react? What is the tenor of your relationship now? Are you two "friends" and on cordial friendly terms??
So we have not had any verbal contact since then & subsequent to that exchange, my wife sent me quite an qaggressive sms (text message) on the 11th August 2207 on the day of my birthday party HERE is the actual transcript
If you have a nice relationship with her -- and your in person or phone calls go well -- then I say GO FOR IT!!
But, if she isn't thrilled with in person or phone calls with you -- then I think sending her an email or some other breezy contact is a better choice and quite fine.
I think as long as you haven't been in some constant pursuit of her -- using any and all excuses to contact her -- then a New Years wish is lovely.
As you can see, I've backed off COMPLETELY since I emailed her the birthday party invite in August 2007 & have not heard a peep from her since then either
Sometimes I think we all over think things. We all should work towards coming to a place where we just treat and deal with our spouses as we do any other "friend."
She appears to want nothing to do with me so that makes it hard to deal with - it's as if I do not exist
Again, it really depends on if your overtures of friendship are well received.
But I always err on the side of kindness. And I think wishing someone you love a Happy New Year is loving and kind.
Hope this helps!
And BTW...HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU!!
And to you too summer PLUS everyone else here who has been so KIND towards me
