Another year coming to an end...
I'm back from Chicago. It was a difficult visit. There's a lot of questions lingering, but in the end all I can do is hope that Katie is at peace. I'm trying to not dwell on things I should've done and concentrate on the friendship we shared.
Went to Cafe Matou, which seems appropriate since I stayed in Maison Matou. I am grateful to Kelvin for putting up with my moodiness and providing a futon for me to sleep on. I was clearly difficult and distracted company, to say the least.
As this year comes to an end, I'm reminded of all the people I've lost touch with over the years. Since mortality is a lesson I've learned several times this year, I am making a concerted effort to rekindle friendships, enjoy each day, and make time for joy. Though my shock and grief at Katie's passing cannot be cast off like yesterday's clothes, I know I need to move forward and live each day to its fullest.
Since my writing is being drowned by trite cliches, I'll end here. Please consider sharing your year end thoughts with me, either in the comments section or via email: socialupheaval (at) gmail.com.
