Sunny New Year’s Eve.
Gaze upstream, into tomorrow
What do I control?

https://hemmingplay.wordpress.com/about/ More at the link. I remember him. He was sitting in the heat on the dock waiting for the ferry to Okracoke, Island in the Outer Banks, NC. It was probably sometime in '72 or '73. He'd driven nearly 12 hours straight and was so tired he couldn't understand the accents of the natives there. I wonder whatever happened to him? I heard a rumor that he married a skinny Irish girl and they settled down somewhere, had a couple of boys, got old. He put on a few pounds. She's still got the girlish shape that caught his eye all those years ago. He probably still has that shirt, though, and still wishes he looked like this. The idiot.

Your perception is what you control. Happy New Year!

I believe that is true, although sometimes perceptions can be wrong. But we always have total control over how we respond to events.
And Happy New Year to you, too. It’s going to be an interesting one. 🙂
