Last Day of 2018


With this being the last day of 2018, I thought I would list a few thoughts I have about what I hope for in the upcoming year of 2019:

  • Lots of love and joy with my family.
  • A deeper relationship of love with my wife and my kids.
  • A kinder, gentler heart and mind.
  • Happy teaching and guiding of students.
  • A sense of time that is more relaxed and less harried and less pressured.
  • A deeper commitment to striving to be a good person.
  • More laughter and joy.
  • A continued resolve to exercise and work to improve myself.
  • A more pleasant Departmental environment.
  • Time with hobbies of music, writing, and art.
  • A firmer committment in terms of pipe smoking or lack thereof.
  • A more robust sense of belonging and of feeling useful and wanted.
  • Fun.

    That is a lovely positive list. Even though you have put it last, please make fun a priority lots of times in 2019. Happy New Year, PT!

I appreciate all forms of comments on my writings. I find that I miss the sponteneity of coming to read them here when they were unmoderated. I believe I wrote less due to the moderation. I have decided to adopt limited moderation. Hopefully the prior problems with unfettered comments will not arise again. Please feel free to comment as you wish about the essays I write. I will maintain those comments that offer kind-hearted and gentle opinion... be it positive or negative. The opinions of your comments will, of course, need to have relevance to the post as well.
