My goodness… can you believe it’s December 1st already?!? Where exactly does time fly and why is there such a rush?

2011… I mean, really?!?

All I can say is that this past year has been indeed an eye-opening one. I’ve made some new and interesting contacts. I’ve re-connected with a few lost friends and family members (thank goodness to modern technology and the WWW). This all gives hope to the phrase: We are not alone… and I’m NOT talking about aliens either…

World-wise, many of my friends are alerted to this whole “Occupy” phenomena. It’s extremely relevant and it’s all a throw-back to the sit-ins of my younger days. I’ve never participated in such an event. I have to tip my hat to those that have the time and gumption to actually sit it out.

My American friends are getting geared up for yet another election and proverbial fire is being stoked. I try to steer clear of political discussion of any sort… but some of the stories popping up are fodder for lively conversation and pure jokes.

Typically, December finds me as an exuberant yet melancholic, emotion-packed month. It’s a winding-down, re-hashing and reflection time. I believe 2012 will be a life-altering year. This writing that I’ve embarked on is the tip of the iceberg. I enjoy throwing my words down and I’m even more thrilled that my madness makes some kind of sense to you. I have every intention on making it a more regular occurrence.
