Read and Enjoy - Highlights of 2015

Thank you loyal, global readers for sticking by me while I was on my self-imposed hiatus.

I feel that a heartfelt "I'm sorry for abandoning you" is due and hope that you will accept my words. I will be sharing my December journey with you over the next few weeks. Hint: Facing tough questions about time and a commitment to continue on my path as a writer.

For now, for reading, for re-reading and (please!) for sharing, my most popular posts of 2015:

Each action pulled from the past or from a snippet from a passerby, strangely interwoven until even I as the writer have to frown in consternation, was he real or did I make him up entirely?

How gallantly my thoughts can fly from the mundane everyday tasks to psychotic wild behaviour that we’ve all experienced with colleagues. How were you to know that medication at the proper dosage was so important to their well-being? Did you know that no amount of pandering can guarantee tenure?
