If your head still throbs from saying farewell to 2019 while welcoming 2020, you probably should skip this space today and google "AA meetings near me" because it's Saturday and the New Year started on Wednesday. All things in moderation, including moderation but seriously, dude...
There were a lot of retrospectives in print, on the air, and on-line in recent days as we turned the page on the second (already? already.) decade of the 21st Century. Not sure what if anything we've learned from any of them but here's to what next, as if we had any other choices.
How we got here isn't, to me, nearly as important as what we do next, when we do it and when we begin. Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted, and it's nearly as much about what we don't know as what we do know.
Stasis can only lead to decay and decline because there is no standing still, only forwards or backward. What we think about the next decade when it reaches its end depends on what we make of it-and now is the moment to play the game existence to the end of the beginning.
