Aria and I are beginning the new year quietly, in our little apartment, sitting on the balcony with a glass of wine, watching the stars and a full moon shining along with the candles in the chiminea. I've been socializing a lot since arriving in Key West and it's been fun and easy and different for me! But tonight, rather than brave the masses celebrating on Duval Street downtown, Aria and I opted for a calmer night at home, fresh fish for dinner, and quiet music on the boombox. Probably Dick Clark at about 11:30.
In 2010, I hope to find an unforced balance between community--enjoying the easy social life that Key West is offering me--and comfortable solitude as I enjoy the slower pace of and by the ocean.
Happy New Year to us all!
Happy Kaya and Mommy
