squib ('skwib) noun 1 a: a short humorous or satiric writing or speech b: a short news item (Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary)

First, might I confess my amazement that I'm quoting a sappy ditty I learned in Girl Scouts (before I got kicked out, but that is a story for another day, folks). And yet, there were very strong overtones of this sentiment in 2010. Age brings many things, but not always new friends. As I reflect on the past year, I am astonished at the number of individuals who have blessed my life with their presence. There's also that old nugget "With age comes wisdom" which must be true because I find myself nurturing these friendships with kinder, gentler hands. So, to my new friends and those folks who have been hanging around awhile, you are the touchstones of my life. I cannot express how much I value your emails, phone calls, and other thoughtful gestures but figured it was worth a try. So, thank you!
