The simplicity of my day to day.

New Year
Let this quote inspire your entry today- "January wraps the world in a blanket of pristine possibilities.". - Barbara Kingsolver

The quote is very poetic, attempting to be inspirational, but sadly I’m too much of a realist these days to believe when midnight strikes and a new year begins, a ‘blanket of pristine possibilities’ wraps the world.
The only positive thing is New Year’s Eve brings the people of the world together for a little while. On the television we see all those beautiful city monuments light up as the countdown begins and the crowds wowed by fireworks and goodwill. It’s moments like these we can believe things will be different. Wars will end, children won’t go hungry and our own personal problems will disappear. Yet realistically we know that nothing will change. I’m sorry for being a wet blanket rather than that blanket of possibilities.
I wish more than anyone 2026 will bring us peace and goodwill. So happy New Year to one and all.
