Naked New Year

The year ended in a hot tub with three beautiful women, under a full "blue" moon and a meteor shower. It's a good life.

Well, almost. At 11:45 the reaction to walking in the cold rain across the garden to the tub was mixed. After a minute in front of the mirror literally mouthing the words "Let Go", I did indeed let go of the need to push friends beyond their limits as my last act of the decade. Instead, we four dear friends gathered in front of the fire and blew out the candle on the tree of life, kissed our partners, and drank in another year of beauty and growth and - at least once in a while - knowing when to just accept and be thankful.
