I thought a lot about the new year to come in the past few days as I rested up after a busy, but altogether positive Thanksgiving-Christmas holiday. While I am frustrated, angry, and disappointed with many in our national leadership, on a personal level, it was a very positive holiday season as I have many loving, caring, generous, ethical, and positive friends and family members. This is good.
As I thought about 2026, it took me a while to realize that I what I hope for on a personal level for 2026 is more of the same:
- caring for loved ones
- living a healthy, simple lifestyle
- having the kind of time that allows me to be present and available to those I love
- making good relationships a priority
- doing what I can to contribute to a positive culture and government
Specifically that means focusing on a few personal goals that translate to a greater ability to love, live well, serve, and give. Onward.
