Here's to a brand new year

Beautiful Lily with a toast to the last day of 2019
I have just returned home after a day out and about. I walked to the bus this morning in the dark, in the horizontal rain and blowing wind. After spending some time at the coffee shop and then the gym, I headed home in order to go out yet again, to enjoy lunch with my friend Lily before my appointment with the acupuncturist.

Between my delightful visit to the chiropractor and his teddy bear yesterday, and the needles carefully placed in my hindquarters today, I am pleased to report that my sacroiliac is happy and at peace, along with the rest of me. Although it looks like snow outside that window, it's only a trick of the light: it's simply rain, lots and lots of it. Mild temperatures, too, relatively speaking.

Tomorrow we begin a new year, a new beginning, and I'm hoping, along with much of the rest of the world, for a more peaceful and gentle time ahead. And I am thrilled that I get to share my own little corner of the world with my fellow bloggers, as well as friends and family who brighten every single day.

As I quaff my last glass of wine of the decade, I raise it to a bright and shining future, which can be anything we wish. We have it within us to do that.

    I am so glad to hear that your sacriliac is much improved, and will happily raise a glass to and with you. Here's to a kind and gentle decade to come (at least).

    Happy New Year DJan! I can’t believe that I’m still awake... awake but not up. I should get up and watch the ball drop - in just 2 minutes - it will be 2020! DH is asleep and I will be too soon. But want to wish you a Happy New Year ! Must be 12 now as I can hear fireworks going off!💫

    Hello, DJan! Of all the critters who could drop by, pehaps the Bear is the most peculiar. Or maybe not.
    1. I am blogging again, at the insistance of people who look after my health. So if you go to "Bears Noting," you'll find my most recent thoughts.
    2. I hope your 2020 will be a wonderful year, even if you are not jumping out of perfectly fuctinal airplanes (or if you are). No judgement here.
    Blessings and Bear hugs!

    I'm glad that you are feeling better....
    and I wish you a blessed 2020, Jan.
    I have tried to comment on your blogs from my iPhone, but I have been unsuccessful. That doesn't keep me from reading them, though.
    I am at my "trusty" computer this morning.
    I send you a hug and a smile,
    Love,
    Jackie

    I do love having you in my blog family, DJan. I’m so glad the acupuncturist is working out so well. My neighbor is seeing an acupuncturist for her hip and it’s wonderful to see her able to walk again. Happy New Year again, DJan!
