12.31.15 2016- I'm getting my speed up



Today I went around to visit a few of my favorite places. Places I've come to visit so often, they're like a friend. You see them in all seasons, all times of day, for better or worse.
Then, I did some errands, ran the Shepherd hard, and came on home, to settle in for the day.
Then he went out, to study Italian and Economics at the local farm store, to go to his porn store (Lowe's) and look around and drool. Then he went to Whole Foods to pick up for us a New Year's Eve treat salad bar dinner.
I'm kind of sitting here salivating, waiting for him to get home. That's what a whole lot of hard but lovely days filled with beans beans, rice, kale and beans does to you. Makes you all up into a salad bar, for God's sake.
Still, here I am, adapting to the reality of the renewed world political order. 
I'm getting my speed up to move on into a 2016. A 'new, never before!!" year.
A year we might want to greet with more wisdom, more equanimity, mixed with equal parts of grave concerns. 
A dab of 'who knows how the hell this will go' ,combined carefully with a greater capacity to cool out and just enjoy the show.
