Happy New Year!


We are not only entering a new year, we're forging ahead into a new decade. One of wild change and promise. Nobody knows what the future holds.

What do you wish for in the next year and decade?

I'm hoping that American politics becomes boring again. It's been entirely too exciting the past three years.

I need to manage my evolving family situation with an elderly father and unreliable relatives. I believe I have a handle on them but who knows what will happen?

If possible, I'd like to live as authentically as possible. As a reader here, you know what I mean. We'll see what society allows and how far I can push the envelope before it tears.

How 'bout you?

  2. As the late great sportscaster Art Rust Jr. would sign off at the end of each show.
    "Yesterday is a cancelled check,
    Tomorrow is a promissory note,
    Today is the time you have, so enjoy"

    I wish you a happy, healthy and well dressed new year.

  9. Happy New Year! My plan is to continue my last few resolutions - keep trying new things, donate to causes i find worth while, and to keep taking baby steps to improve my life.

    Nothing radical, but attainable goals = more success. And success keeps me motivated

  11. I want to find happiness at work. I'm very unhappy right now and although I've tried to voice my concerns so that I can find happiness I am being pushed back. So this year I want to find happiness in the job I do, no matter how hard I need to push for it.
