I will not bore you with the details of how we arrived to this point. Instead I shall bore you with the details of this one last document and one last Jazz Hands send off. After all, the final day of the year is more about embracing what is yet to come than it is about what we're leaving behind.
Admittedly, Jazz
Hands in the mirror every day for the entirety of 2013 was an
ambitious endeavor, a task that required a fair amount of endurance and
discipline. There were some missteps along the way, some
forgettable posts, and moments lacking taste in general, but the promise was
upheld nonetheless, all witnessed by visitors from numerous countries spanning
six continents, totaling nearly 13,000 individual site visits as of this
writing. A modest number on its own merit, but far greater than what was
once thought possible.
Having read your author's accounts of hand jazzing throughout the majority of the year, I feel confident that one final deployment by me, Robert Lochaven, as a ceremonial parting ritual will feel natural and effortless.
Here I stand before my own reflection, early in the morning on this final day of 2013, it feels anything but natural. Jazz Hands is the last thing I feel like doing and the mirror seems to be in total agreement. I go for it like pulling off a Band Aid with eerily similar results.
We are now crossing the 365 Days of Jazz Hands finish line, and this is quite literally the end of a very long journey, yet I can't help feeling that this is just the beginning.
