New Year
It feels weird to celebrate a new year when the world looks so uncertain. I mean, what did the year even do so far except allow the sun to hit its surface another day? But what else can we do? We can’t wait for life: this is the only one we get, and we have to get through this uncertainty, too.
So a tentative hello to 2025. May you bring good things.

Happy 2025, Mel! I have been thinking the same. Just another sunrise but here is a whole new year.
Here we go again, I suppose.
Happy new year to you as well! I’m just praying it’s not as bad as I fear it will be. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Happy New Year! Yep, that sums up my feelings pretty well, too. It feels like, WHAT ON EARTH IS GOING TO HAPPEN?, and like a good goal for 2025 would be just “survive.” I hate change and conflict, sooooo, yeah. Survival is a good goal.
I feel like 2025 needs to prove itself before I’m ready to celebrate it, but I did enjoy my NYE at home with my family. We did our usual snack dinner, fire and s’mores, and board games. And for the first time we all made it until midnight. Hopefully this fun night is a harbinger of good things to come. I really want to believe that, even with all that is so close on the horizon.
Happy(?) New Year. I guess it’s a good time to mark a refresh and leave things that don’t work behind. It’s good for me because it’s the day I officially retired. While I am a little sad to give up the identity that was so much a part of me for almost 30 years, I’m also very much done with the direction of the field. When you read an article that says “we should be doing it this way, but all the current practitioners stubbornly won’t buy in to our exceptional wisdom,” you know that the field is messed up. Anyway, now I have lots of time to organize all my stuff and get rid of it.
I hope 2025 ends better than it started.
