Another Auld Lang Syne




Whether your reaction to 2019 having reached its final day is one of thanks, of regret, or of something else altogether, this year's final act is upon us.  2019 was the first year since 2016 in which Nana and Pop Pop did not experience the joy of a new grandchild being born.  In 2020, we are expected to put an end to this one-year drought.  My wish?  Same as it has been the first three times, which is that mother and baby both come through the experience healthy and happy, appreciating that from the mother's perspective "happy" is a relative term inexorably linked to the labor.  

However and wherever you shall mark the transition from this year to the next, may you be in the company of at least one person you love very much and who feels that very same way about you. May you in 2020 attain the peace each of us longs for and that, at our core, each of us needs.  

Be careful out there.
