New links must be forged as old ones rust. ~ Jane Howard

 

Because of my illness, I'm a little late getting to my annual reflection. What I've discovered is that the past year is rich with personal accomplishments. Best of all, I'm surrounded by more friends and colleagues than ever before. Each of them, interesting and talented, adds something positive to my life. I'm not sure who came up with the idea that a writer's life is a solitary one. It's never been a goal for me. I make a point now of getting together with someone every week for a meal or drinks. No agendas, just sharing time together. Inevitably we walk away with new ideas and a feeling of friendship and support.
