The clock ticks. Fifteen minutes.
All I must say is that after this year, things will be different, at least for me. Letting go of the most distracting things, such as Facebook, has been a mind-cleanser. I can write what I feel, and what I want to feel, rather than stare incessantly at photos of people I neither really know nor care about. Before I know it, two valuable hours of my life have passed by, and for what achievement? I gain nothing by wallowing in my self-pity and loneliness. Here is where I have my own small slice of the "world's" (apple) pie, a single yet substantial place set out only for me. And my thoughts that I carry.
So bloggers and writers of the world, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Have a wonderful and prosperous New Year, 2011.

Eleven minutes remain, and the clock that ticks in time and tune with my eager heart will strike a new beginning.
