Trying to start this off on a positive note because perception shapes reality etc.

So: Happy New Year!

In this fresh new year ahead, let's just try to be kind.
Let's be kind to each other, and let's be kind to ourselves. Especially to ourselves, because we deserve it, and someone has to be. Be kind to yourself. That includes not putting up with bullshit. I don't think we have to be kind to every asshole. Let's absolutely do something against the assholes. But let's be kind to ourselves, and to the people close to us. Let's forgive the little mistakes, because there are far bigger ones to get worked up about, and it's unwise to waste one's energy on the little ones. We need our energy to deal with the big mistakes. Let us, as the old adage goes, be wise enough to know the difference.

Yeah, I guess that's my New Year's prayer.

It's the same old world out there, but it's a shiny new year, and that's got to be worth something.
