I assume the New Year rang in without a hitch. I was in bed long before the main event. That’s one of the benefits of being in the ‘grandpa’ phase of life. I no longer feel the urge or need to stay up until midnight – for any occasion. If I can outlast the grandbabies I consider it a job well done. As the grandbabies grow into pre-teens and beyond, I’ll have to find a new goal. For now I’m content to stay up longer than the little ones.
This is the first time in many years I haven’t written a ‘year in review’. This year I choose to focus forward. Aside from a few lessons I’d rather not repeat, the rest of my life is in front of me, not behind me. This afternoon I have an optimism, deserved or not, that I’ll allow to carry me into the New Year. I don’t have a crystal ball, and I don’t dare to presume, but I’ll predict 2012 will be a good year.
Happy New Year!
