Happy New Year!

So bring on 2020…is everyone ready?

So this is the time of year when many folks are making resolutions for the new year, me not so much…I have come to realize that I will not keep any resolution that I have made under the influence of a cocktail or two. No in reality I just want to keep on doing what we have been doing, oh let’s face it, what we are doing is what a lot of people are dreaming of doing, so it’s hard to imagine wanting much else. Oh I think we want to maybe take a few more minutes to enjoy what we already enjoy…to try to clarify, enjoy our time together even a little more, to take in more of the beauty that surrounds us, to spend more time with friends and family, to be more understanding and forgiving of stupidity, to just laugh when the preverbal shit happens in our lives…because it’s going to happen anyway.

I think maybe this year we are going to be the leader of the parade as opposed to be the ones trying to push the parade along. We always joked that when someone was driving the speed limit or a little below and there is a long line of impatience people behind, that the guy in the front was leading the parade, well that’s what we are going to be doing, slowing down a little, to smell the roses, or just enjoy the ride a little bit more. Yes as twenty twenty rolls in tonight it will find us rolling down the road again tomorrow, actually for someone who says they don’t plan ahead, we seem to have a lot of dates on our calendar for the next year, but I guess that’s just part of our whole evolution.

Our time here in Why Arizona, has brought to light a lot of things…not fore getting to take in to account that we needed an address to receive some items and a safe spot to do some major upgrades and a few repairs, we came back here to Why hoping to find what we had left two years ago…and that just did not happen. There are lots of reasons why it didn’t, but the most obvious is that things are just different, there is not just one reason they are different, no there are at least two years worth of reasons. It was our mistake and foolishness to think that everything would have been the same. Why would it have been the same? We aren’t the same, life moves on, life’s change, everyone’s health changes, it seems the only thing that didn’t change was our expectations…just saying.

Near the end…

Well the end of 2019…as we close in on the end…I was going to say the decade but is it really the end of the decade, I know when I start counting I always start at one…so how is 2020 the start of a new decade, 2020 seems more like the end of the decade to me.

It is the 29th of December, yesterday I watched the end of a great run by the Ohio State Buckeye football team, I also seen LSU dominate the other semi final of this years college football season. Yes there will be sadness in the Ward household today, but all is not lost, as it was a great football game until a receiver just didn’t finish running his route, just proving again how important teamwork is and even more importantly how every persons job is in forming the perfect team. Oh it is also the season for all the bests of shows for the last year and most likely of the decade on every form of broadcast known to mankind. We also have just watched the impeachment of a US president, in a country that has never been more divided…which really amazes most of the rest of the world, so to say it has been a wild and crazy year is again an true understatement.

I mean like seriously, we are living in a world where, entertainers and athletes are treated with so much respect, but in reality they are just overpaid performers, everyone seems to care what influencers say and do, hell it is just recently when I even realized they existed, and even today I could care even less what they think or do. But I do think that it is amazing how many people actually do, there is an endless stream of useless information that is being broadcast at us continually, and most people take it as gospel. I also find it amazing how politicians don’t seem to care what lie falls out of their mouth, now I have known for years that politicians lie, and they seem to have no remorse about doing it, one will lie and two others will swear it’s true, but it still doesn’t make it true or right. And I guess what really has me down is that there are so many people that take what they are being told as fact…like seriously just because it was on the internet, doesn’t mean it’s right! I mean any dam fool can put information on the internet…look at me I do it regularly…just saying
