I watched the new year come in. 😉 Ever the optimist. Wishing you a good one!
I stayed up too. But I’m almost always still up at midnight. Frustrated that all the tv coverage is reruns taped in NYC (two hours ago) or elsewhere, rather than a local celebration that’s actually happening NOW.
Based on the illustration above, I suppose I’m an optimistic pessimist, or maybe a pessimistic optimist, if that’s possible.
But cheers to all, regardless!
Since politics can’t be much worse, I guess I’m an optimist.
Best wishes to you and yours!
Another way of saying the only way to go is up? I guess that makes me an optimist too.
All the best to you and your family, too!
