It’s Tuesday. Believe it or not, it’s the final day of 2019. When I think about this past year I can say that it was fairly good to me. Work was steady and I’m still with my girlfriend of 19 years. We managed to fit in an additional vacation out to the east coast over the summer where we took in the sights and enjoyed lobster every day. We also picked up an addition to our small family and named her Abby. She’s an energetic sheepdog/poodle mix that my girlfriend has wanted her entire life. She’s already brightened our lives in so many ways.

On the other hand, the absolute worst was losing a few friends to cancer, all of which were too young. The older I get the more I realize that you have to take the good with the bad, no matter how unfair.

I hope everyone has a good time tonight. If you have plans to go out and party tonight, please make arrangements so you don’t have to drive. It’s a simple choice that could make a big difference in your life and the lives of others.
