A New Year comes with a lot

of hope, optimism, and certainty that whatever the next twelve months bring, we can face it with energy that we weren’t sure we possessed. The world is on fire, that is not up for debate, and sometimes I feel so helpless against the injustices, fighting, war, discrimination, misogyny…and the list goes on. I am not going to pretend that I am going to make it through January (certainly not Dry January in my household) with a perma-smile, but here’s to doing my best, loving my friends and family, taking all my meds correctly, and soldiering on.
