The Year is New, But Not Much Else.

I may be getting older, or perhaps less optimistic. I'm not giving up but depression seems to be catching up with too frequently these days. I recognize the change in the numbers and the joy and beauty of seeing family come together to celebrate the most wonderful time of the year. It's very hard though to shelve the reality of what's going on in the world we live in today. We may have gotten a break from the bad stuff, but they're still sitting outside waiting on the moment of peace to pass. While the year is new, it would be so nice if we didn't have to go back to wars and hatred, divisive religious issues and nasty political rhetoric. More recently the quick passing of new year celebrations meant going back to the office and praying for Friday to come around quickly. But the world has changed and even teenagers are recognizing the difference in the air. We do the best we can to keep going on. With all that's happening wherever you may be, I hope you will have the happiest New Year and that you will make the feeling last for as long as you wish.
