Another year slides off into the sunset and with it a decade of many heartbreaking memories. The magazines and television programs are full of the many dates of infamy, along with the names of so many people who have left this world for a better one. Perhaps the Teens will be years of better happenings and a different sort of prosperity and peace in this world. Let’s all do positive imaging for the New Year and always expect goodness and warm care for each other.
New Year’s Eve – 11:40 p.m.
Have to zip along to post this in the old year!
Just watched Anderson Cooper and Kathy Griffith bring in the New Year from Times Square. They are rather comical together – I do enjoy him. His money hasn’t spoiled his goodness.
Latest UFO finished and off in the mail today. Can’t wait for her to see it….Today and tomorrow are UFO-finishing days, among one of my knitting threads on the Internet……several hundred members in this one.
Quiet supper at the local cafe, and home by 7. DH was abed by 9. His hip surgery is scheduled for 12 January – can’t come too soon. He’s in such constant pain. I watched the very pleasurable 2-hour “Live from Lincoln Center” – much American music……Gershwin, Copeland, Porter….Quite satisfying.
Tomorrow is football, all day all the time. And shrimp and herring, for the New Year. Quietness. I’m learning to enjoy it. Trying to “shut down my motor”, as DS puts it. It does work, if I try.
Finished 2 Rennie Airth books, British police procedurals, and the 3rd in the series, all he’s written so far (at 70!) is in the mail from Better World Books, a great source. I’ll select something engrossing meanwhile to put me to sleep the next few nights.
Christmas angst has dissipated – looking forward to new ideas and adventures this new year.
