Mar's Zazen: Happy Holidays and New Year

Welcome to my place in cyberspace. I created this blog as a forum for those near and far. I apologize for its impersonal nature, but in this quintessential, modern-day world rife with ironic technology, this forum seems to be a viable, (though hardly ideal), alternative for some form of communication when time factors conflict. As you kick back here, I hope you enjoy your visit; but keep in mind that no progression in technology can ever replace my yearnings for a more personal exhange. In the meantime, let's toast to you and your family's health, hope, and happiness. Thanks for letting me share with you.

Happy Holidays and New Year

Japanese steakhouse dining is a longstanding tradition of ours. We decided to celebrate Mom's birthday in belated fashion on Christmas Eve while Mike was in town. Greg couldn't be with us to share it, however. He is hosting Christmastime with his new wife and her family in their new digs. Greg's absence was palpable but in our small family, we are thankful for each and every moment holding splashes of joy, warmth, love, laughter and levity. May all our family and friends be lucky to share in the same and more. Happy holidays and new year everyone. We hope it's one of the best!
