No news is?

The start of another year is something of an anti-climax.  Nothing is going to change from 11:59 a.m. on December 31 to 12:00 a.m. on January 1 - okay, maybe in New York City, where a new mayor was sworn in after 8 years of watching this once-great city slide into criminally-ruled streets and mass exoduses.  Nonetheless, I have no grand delusions that this new year will differ much from the last few - especially with the latest "news" about COVID-19.  At this point, I have no feelings about it as I've done what I need to do and I don't judge anyone about whatever their stance may be on vaccines, etc.  I always try to take care of my health as best as possible during flu season anyway and I view it all in the same light.

At least small inroads to get some of myself "back" have been made - playing guitar daily again, albeit for short periods - to regain dexterity in my fingers and to remember the songs I'd written/knew so well and figure out if I still have, if nothing else, a "need" to do it.  I don't have a band; I'm not looking for fame, praise or attention - do I still love it because it's part of me?  Time will now tell.

Everything else?  Just live each day in a focused, rational manner and trust my intuitive sense.  Everything will work itself out.
