I don't like New Year's Eve.
Never have, really.
We don't go out--though we have standing invitations to an annual New Year's Eve dinner party.
I think we should reflect on the Old Year rather than celebrate and drink too much to the new one.
2023 was not a stellar year.
Two horrible wars going on.
States taking away a woman's rights to say what happens to her body.
High anger toward GLBTQ rights.
A former President under 91 felony charges.
The bad year the Yankees had (needed to add that).
Homelessness and poverty on the rise in a very good economy.
Books being banned.
Mass shootings and no move in Congress for gun control.
Racism rampant.
On and on the list goes.
I'm glad to say good-bye to 2023.
But I'm not convinced 2024 will improve things much.
"Thoughtful Pondering in the New Year" is my greeting tonight....
