Even more fun— pronouncing them aloud. It is such a harsh language that “I love you” sounds suspiciously like you are cursing at someone. As always, sending so much affection, beloved brilliant friend ✨

I feel relief (some years in the recent past – most notably 5 years ago, when my father in law died at the end of December – I have not been able to organize myself to do it before the end of January). This year feels like smooth sailing already, since I have it all cleaned up. The canvas for 2026 is clean and ready for all kinds of creativity! Happy New Year!

My morning started well with reading your post. And now I have another book title to add to my cart! I usually hold out on taking decorations down until Epiphany. I assume we will do so again this year. Though we are preparing to move from B’ham to Boaz at beginning of February. Oh, and I think that William Law suggested regularly meditating on death at bedtime. Peace, LaMon

I bet it is and was beautiful, Nancy… how quickly these days pass! Xoxo

Hi Bill! Thank you for inspiring me to revisit Mahler’s 8th! It makes me happy to hear from you. Xoxo

I wish I could speak German with it…
