Happy new year

In another life it’d be “happy new year!” but doesn’t really feel like it this year. There’s something about the whole political and economic climate that feels off. Maybe I’m getting old, no longer as enthusiastic for life, or something. I don’t know.

But the previous years’ feelings of optimism and excitement, feelings of the chance of building or creating or somehow growing, isn’t really coming through this new year. There’s a wariness and caution; a feeling that expectations need to be tempered.

Maybe.

Let’s see how this year goes. Only 364 days now till 2027. Let me get back to you then, maybe with a proper “Happy new year!”
