Released last year with pain and sadness I told friends “ glad to see 2023 go away” . The death of my cousin Cathy. Sorrow felt deeply knowing that she may have given up and it was disguised as something else. My dear Nena who graced heaven at 92 . A lively spirit whose little hands reached out to call me just to say hello. Both of these women were pivotal in shaping my perspective on all things great in Life. Refinement, attitude and savvy.

So here we are bringing in what I know will be the best year. A brief trip with a new friend and finding my way back to my mom. This is what happens when you look the other way. You see twice as good.
