Alas, the new year approaches and...

I must be going. It is with mixed emotion; I've spent the last week with my sister, my mom and various friends of my sister's circle. She's well regarded and loved; which is one trademark of our family that I share a portion thereof. More specificially I have friends...

There is no better feeling (emotional) than that bond with siblings and relatives when properly nourished over a lifetime. At least, if one is fortunate enough to have the requisite good memories required. (There are those... who unfortunately miss out on this; for one reason or another).

So I will leave Jocelyn, Mom, Molly, Bodie, Sadie and Elliot to their New Years planning and festivities; and return to that center of self-awareness and sometime loathing that the general populace calls Los Angeles.

So be it...

Begins anew a new year. Maybe I will get a job?

One can hope.

May your holiday and New Year be bright and of positive note. may ALL of your memories be worth remembering, retelling and savoring later.

(so I'm an optimist... or is that a pessimist?)

Happy New Year to one and all.
