Congratulations! Hears to another successful trip around the sun. That was a bumpy one, like riding in old buggy down a precarious logging road off a mountain kind of bumpy. Lots of good, both in the world and personally for myself and my family. Lots of bad. Lots of weird...lots and lots of weird. And sadly, lots of loss.
I was listening to the radio a couple of weeks ago. the discussion was, as is common this time of year, the year that was and all the upheaval of 2016. They were talking to some expert (historian I believe) about his thoughts on the last year and he had an interesting thought. He said we are entering a new renaissance, and that just like in the fourteenth century, there was lots of public, political and social upheaval. Lots of push back by many to retain the old ways. I guess they wanted to make middle ages 'Great Again'.
So as 2017 begins I like to think of it all in that way, we are in a transitional time, moving from what we were to what we will become.
