I'm guessing not you. Was 2015 a bad year? Granted, any given ocassion that gives people an reason to go crazy, they do just that. I hope the rest of 2016 treats you well.

It does take years before anyone realizes that "years" do not make us happy.

I'm facing this new year without a husband of over 50 years, and now I've got a miserable sore throat. But I know The One Who goes into the new year with me. Do you?

But, I don't watch the New Year's festivities either. It really is just a ball dropping. I keep asking myself "what are those people feeling while watching? What are they hoping to let go of or what are they anticipating? And also standing in freezing weather. But then again, I'm not as young as I used to be anymore.

If it makes them happy, even for a moment, so be it.
