Happy 2025!

This is one instance I want time to fly by on 2024.

Happy New Year to all.

Father Time's clock is blessedly winding down on a very unusual 2024 - but it really feels as if when the clock strikes midnight, five calendar years of insanity will be ended (including Covid in 2020) and we can finally get that albatross off from around our necks and move forward again.

Maybe I'm just feeling delayed joy from Kamala's campaign, but I am optimistic about the future - even though I know the GOP has the propensity to screw things up.

My family is well - and we added a new member in August, so we have a lot to be thankful for. Our extended family was with us to celebrate Poppy's first Christmas of many.

I hope and pray that 2025 will be a great one for everybody. Remember that every day is filled with opportunities for us to make life better for ourselves and those we love. Take not one minute of it for granted.

Let's make it count, people. Be there for your friends and family. There are very few mulligans in life, so never waste an opportunity to take the shot, as they say, you miss 100% of the shots you never take.
