Sitting in my easy chair watching some football with two my cats sitting in my lap. They have gone into “Boneless mode”, a deep sleep status where they relax and nestle contentedly in my lap. I had to ask permission to get up and write this blog. It’s been a nice day after a busy holiday season.

Honestly, it’s hard to believe we are in 2026. It doesn’t seem real yet. It usually takes me a few months to remember what year I’m in, but I feel good, I’m optimistic I will remember the year change by the middle of February. LOL!

I had a nice trip to Canada during the holidays and enjoyed my time there. Yes, it was cold and yes, it got dark early, but it was still a great way to bring in the new year. Tomorrow a fresh work year begins, and I’ll be preparing for some new certifications and new training classes and topics for the new year.
Anyway, it’s nice to relax and enjoy some time with the kitties. I have some fresh things to write about this year and some new directions for 2025 2026. Happy New Year! I hope you prosper and thrive as this fresh year unfolds!
