Editor’s note: Thank you so much, Dottie, for these lovely thoughts to close out 2018, and Happy New Year to you all!
I can be quiet and alone without being lonely. There are the beloveds always around me. Those who followed me from my mothers womb. Those who came from mine. Those who have followed.
And the friends. We have shared history, mine and theirs. Ours. Tears and laughter together.
The circles shared, college classrooms and book groups, widows drinking wine together, church groups and singing groups, ad hoc committees and deliberating bodies.
If I can love others, others can love me. And vice versa. The circle of life. Join me in celebrating it. You received this message so you are part of it.
