The Auld Lang Syne Brigade

Just returned from Thanksgiving dinner with family. It was lovely to be part of
something that has become a tradition through the years. There is something that I call
the Auld Lang Syne factor...to me it counts for a lot. It has to do with knowing people for a long time...regardless of your different occupations...or even the way you see
life...and that over the years becoming something of special value to you. What is it
that makes that special?. If you can get past the people taking each other for granted
thing...you see that these are people you've shared so much with over time...i.e. you
have "shared history" together...and regardless pf your differences...there is comfort in that. This is your group...your gang...the ones who have been present at the important junctures...or at ceremonies...from baptisms...to funerals...in your life...
these are the people of your life...whether changes happen...or partners change. These are...the familiar members of your Auld Lang Syne Brigade................Quester.
