New year, re-visiting old haunts


The year of our Lord Two-Thousand and Twenty-Four is the Year of the Dragon. According to the Chinese zodiac, the dragon is a symbol of power and authority. The personality traits of a person born in the year of the dragon are charismatic, intelligent, confident, and they are naturally lucky and gifted. If you are a believer, then this year will bring prosperity and good fortune. 

I believe this year will be one of serendipity and wellbeing. I'm especially hopeful after how hard and heartbreaking 2023 ended ("roller coaster" -- that was 2023, but more on that later). I'm looking at this coming year the way a boxer might look at their next fight after taking a beating during the last one: I'm tired but want to go at it again.

As for this little space (does anyone even blog anymore?); no posts in 2022 or 2023. I've been busy, distracted, pulled in another direction (more on that, too, later). But something told me to come back here, to open this door and look inside.  

Perhaps it's time to pick up where I last left off...
