Back home - about 11 as I ran out of companions at the pub. Can understand what loneliness must be like. Hooked up with a nice group and had a good chat and then they left for another venue and was on my own amongst groups of others in the pub and had one more drink and thought - do you know what? Just go home and grab a sandwich and end 2013.
There's just over half an hour of the year to go - I know it is just a date but we can pin things to dates, anniversaries, birthdays, death days, holy days and so on. New Year's Day - well hell why not?
To me it's been an education. I needed to go and do that, to get out and to feel lonely so that I don't get complacent and so that I understand the ground rules. This is the first time I have ever been on my own on New Year's Eve - I hated it, really hated it. Lesson learnt but I knew that before I went. There was opportunity but it is not in my nature to be proactive in making things happen. However - I did meet some nice people tonight and that's good. It did me good to realise that I can socialise and - would you believe it - I met someone who I could partner with as he runs a printing business! Life has some mysterious twists and turns.
Just awaiting the bombardment of SMS messages in the next half an hour - it will make me feel as if someone it thinking of me - even if they are sending it blind to all their contacts! :-)
A Happy 2014 to you all - things can only get better from here on in.....
