Trying to start the year with a clearer head… less angry, more grounded, more present. First words I got to say in 2025 were “love ya” to my 14 year old dog so a good start was had.

Hoped over here from Facebook and Twitter and followed it up by starting to watch BBC news exclusively instead of CNN or MSNBC. I can literally feel my blood pressure dropping.
