“On the stroke of midnight tonight, you can resolve to be better, if you like…
to be fitter,
to eat cleaner,
to work harder.
On the stroke of midnight tonight,
you can resolve to become a whole new you,
if you so choose.
Or, you can take a moment to acknowledge
all you already are.
Because it’s a lot.
You’re a lot.
And you deserve to be commended.
On the stroke of midnight tonight, perhaps you could congratulate yourself, for coping.
For breaking, again, and for rebuilding, again.
For catching the stones life has thrown at you,
and using them to build your castle that little bit stronger.
You have endured, my friend.
And I don’t see the need to resolve to become a whole new you, when you are already so very much indeed.
Happy New Year.
You made it.
Now let us face another 365 day-turn, arms wide, accepting, embracing and ‘seeing’ each other, for all we are.”

Let me tell you, only special people on this planet go through the torture of a colonoscopy on a holiday. Those who do, like smilin’ Stacy (perhaps still under the influence of sedation at this point), get a delicious meal from Winchell’s as a reward. Bring on the double chocolate cake, I say, and Happy New Rear! (Stacy gets all the credit for that joke). May 2025 be as clear as… no. This is a family show, and I’m not going to succumb to my childish mind. May 2025 be a year of health, happiness, and all the joy the law will allow us all. Thanks for sticking with me on this journey. I have a feeling that 2025 is going to be a really, really interesting time. Let’s go!
