Well, unless I decide to post later -- which is iffy at the moment. Still sick, but seem to be coming out on the other side of whatever this is -- not sure if it is allergies or a bad cold? Doesn't matter, as long as it goes away soon. Cold and rainy here -- although not as cold as it has been in previous years. According to the news, we have insanely warm temperatures for this time of year -- in the 40s, and will reach 50 before midnight. Too bad it's pouring. Can't be fun standing in the middle of Times Square while it's pouring. (I'm not. I plan to be in bed and asleep long before the clock strikes twelve.)

This morning -- while in the shower, a thought popped into my head...life is not a competition no matter how much the world, the media, and everyone wants to turn it into one. It's a journey. Not a race. So, New Year's resolution is basically not to compete and stay out of competitions.

With that in mind, the below are the entertaining and at times thought provoking items that I watched, read, and experienced in 2019 that I can remember and want to either recommend or share.

So overall not a bad year, in some respects.

End of year donations, included Enviromental Defense Fund, Nature Conservancy, ACLU (as long as the GOP and the Doofus are in power -- I'm donating to the ACLU - aka American Civil Liberties Union), and my church (which is currently housing and acting as a sancturary for two immigrant families among other social justice issues.).

I'm trying to focus on the positives at the moment. Let the negative stuff fade away into the background where it belongs.

Hopefully 2019 will bring positive things its way and challenges that won't make me too crazy. (Looks pointedly at my work place.)

Happy New Year to everyone, or to those who celebrate. (Not everyone does apparently. Which is interesting.) Hope the new year brings good things your way or at the very least interesting lessons that don't hurt too much.
