January 2019

I’m not sorry to see the end of 2018. Surely things will be better in 2019? I know, I know, don’t call you Shirley. You’ve watched Airplane to many times!

So, this year. Yeah. I don’t know. I have no real expectations, and I hate to be less than optimistic but really. I just don’t know. I haven’t lost hope, I’ve just lost my expectations. I think the world as it is, is moving farther away from what it should be than it ever before in my lifetime. I think people are being divided up into little hate groups and they don’t even know it. I think hate is fueling a fire that is creating a smoke screen for some of the most blatant and harmful things that I just watch in disbelief. How is this real? How is this happening to us, to our planet, to our compassion and sense of community? I hope things get better, but I don’t expect they will.

So anyway…

I’ve decided to do things a little differently on my site this year. I keep falling behind on my site posts because I just don’t have the time I used to have to put into it, but I don’t want to give it up either. My best compromise is to just cut back on how much I post and do my best to plan ahead. I hope you’ll continue to visit and enjoy what I have for you.

I’ll do my best to keep up this year. I can’t promise I won’t run behind and/or post late, but I will post! Surely you can at least appreciate my efforts? Shirley, you can!
