In the past, I have posted about the highs and lows of the prior year. But in 2015, I experienced some of the lowest lows of my life. You lovely friends have been so supportive. Why would I make you relive all of that heartache?

So in lieu of a review of my 2015, here’s a little peek into how I spent New Year’s Eve.

I took a selfie before leaving, mostly to show my mother that I was alive and attempting to mask illness with lots of makeup and a salon blowout.

I arrived a little early to check out the set-up and find our table. As usual, Bowery Collective did a wonderful job.

At this point, I’m aiming to remember not the pain of 2015, but instead the fact that when I leaned on my friends, they were present for me. I’m grateful for that.

On to 2016.
