Another Times Square extravaganza with Dick Clark, and another year I secretly hoped they wouldn't wheel him out; but I guess he is determined to be a part of it. It's painful to watch. I remember him from the Bandstand days—young and handsome. And until his stroke, he always looked as though he hadn't aged a day in 50 years.
I'm hoping this will be a year of new beginnings for everyone. A lot of people had a very tough 2010. The economy is still stuck and who knows when things will get moving again. With the global economy taking center stage, Americans might be out of luck for awhile longer. Fortunately, we always rebound and my guess is it will happen again.
This year, I ended—or maybe just put on hold—a long-standing friendship, and that was a painful decision for me. Another friendship has grown and become more than I ever thought it would.
An ancient romance was revisited, and its outcome is yet to be determined. The potential is there, but, was it ever what I thought it was, or do we just rewrite history in our memories? The spirit is always willing, but sometimes the ravages of time have already taken their toll and we're just not up to the challenge anymore. We'll see... It's still too early to say.
All-in-all, I look forward to new beginnings, whatever they may be. I welcome new friendships, new ventures and new discoveries.
2011—Here we come!!!
