As 2024 comes to end I find myself amazed to still be able to read blogs and learn how my friends are managing. It is clear that a few have had some serious hardships and some may now be unalive as we were seniors way back when we set out to blog. I myself had a serious health struggle but now seem okay considering my age. And I am very thankful for Buddy and hubby who make our life in our own home still possible.
Our Christmas was a white one and we enjoyed having our grandkids over. They left UK and now live close by. I am blessed that my daughters are close and alway in touch.
I look forward to the coming year with a bit of fear as the world is becoming unsettled in how nations will behave and perform. It is a worry that crime has gone up as gangs and cartels seem to be more aggressive. The new tech has shown us it’s not so helpful side and AI sure has me wondering about an issue of controlled learning. But my days are numbered due to age so I won’t know how all will be 20 years from now. I doubt I will live to 100 like Jimmy Carter who just payed on.
My dear friends let us hope January will be calm as well as the months that follow.
Happy New Year!!!
Hi, Heidrun! It's good to see you. I saw that about President Carter. Wow, 100 years old. I was in 5th grade when he won the election and now I am one year younger than he was when he left the White House. Ha ha. Quick math, I am 55. He lived a long, long life. The passsage of time is on my mind too these days. Funny how we change, isn't it? Funny how the world has changed. Not funny. I don't even recognize it anymore. Happy New Year to you and Buddy!
ReplyDeleteWeird... you know what? I was not in fifth grade when he was elected. I think I was in second.

I also think of you often, and I am always so happy to see you are still blogging, if not often, but still around and on this side of the grass. We are both looking at life from the twilight. It's okay.
ReplyDeleteI understand your sentiments. I hope we do have a calm 2025 and that we "Stay Alive in 2015"
