Well that’s a wrap for NaBloPoMo 2020. It lacked the intensity of a daily November grind, a softer, gentler approach from the mind of a wonderful blogger that I have “ known” for over a decade, Ms. Melisa. A big thank you to this lovely lady for her efforts and selflessness- for not only sharing out my stories but for providing linky love to some wonderful blogs and bloggers, more places to visit while we can’t physically really go many places. I cannot believe I have known Melisa for over a decade, but only met her that one time at the one and only BlogHer I attended (let’s admit-partied at) in 2009. The internet, for all of its scary possibilities, can also introduce you to a world of great possibilities. Like connections, goodness knows we need that nowadays.

I’m always on the fence about NaBlo… but never regret it. This spot on the internet helps me get away from the realities of this crazy time and gives me pause to think, and write about things. Things that are silly, ridiculous, sometimes sentimental and heartwarming ( because I know I will forget) … sometimes philosophical if my mind goes there but I may not go too far down that path. But best of all it’s the memories, and it’s an opportunity to introduce myself … to myself. Who I have been, where I’ve come from, and glimpses of who I may become.

Even though I now apparently qualify for extra savings as a senior ( wait- what?!-yes apparently the bar has been lowered into 50s)…I am still younger than the new VP elect of the US, and the President elect is only 5 years younger than my mother.

So yes, lots to be continued…see you in December.
