Balloons soar skyward 
writhe, twist, pitching in the wind.
Freedom has its price.
Fireworks explode
colors flash then fall blending.
Lessons in the sky.

Sneaking downstairs to my basement labyrinth before I begin prepping for our New Year’s party (remind me why again I’m doing this;)). I wanted to stop by and thank you for all your inspiring comments this past blogging year, Lillian. I also wanted to thank you for sharing your writing as well – always beautiful, creative and worldly.
May you and your family enjoy a fabulous entrance into this new year. I wish you many happy days beyond.
Happy New Year, my friend.
Here’s to 2016!

What a wonderful way to begin the last day of this year. Thank you my friend!!
Received an “annual report” from WP — didn’t know they did that. And guess who I had the most conversation with this year? You! So – here’s the resolution for 2016: for you and I to meet face-to-face in conversation somewhere. If 2016 begins to run out and we haven’t done that yet, then a pledge to meet with wine glass in hand over FaceTime or Skype! Happy New Year AM! So so glad we’ve connected!
