For the fifth year in a row I performed as Arlo for a New Year's Eve event at my workplace. It was again a very fun evening, lots of hugs, high-fives, giving out of goodies for the kids and some improvising with another staff member during a presentation (yes, Arlo got let out of his 'photo corner' for the evening, lol)!

Midway through the night a lady came up and asked for a photo and mentioned afterwards that she'd been coming to the event for years and looked forward to seeing 'the wolf'. Little moments like this and the shy kids who scope me out for a few minutes and then come up to say hi with smiles on their faces are what make this event so much fun. (However I won't deny that getting paid overtime to perform in suit ain't too shabby either.)

My one regret is the morning after. I'm now on the near side of fifty and my knees and lower back grumble at me all the next day for my exertions of the night before.....sigh, such is life!

I'll finish up by wishing all my followers the very Happiest of New Year's. Be safe, be well and don't forget to leave a little time during the day to follow your own happiness!

Big Hugs from 'Da Wolf'!
