We could talk about the stock market. Some people think it will go up this year, some think it won’t. There are a couple of sky is falling people out there. And this is pretty normal in any given year. No one really knows, yet people get paid to act like they do. You cannot predict the future, but you can plan based on data. That would be something wonderful to discuss, doesn’t feel like the world is ending since those are normal discussions.
Or we could talk about the NFL playoffs. It is always fun
when a team makes an extraordinary comeback like the Bears. Since the Cowboys
weren’t whiffing the playoffs I pretty much tuned out the NFL, yet by
happenstance got to see the second half of the Bears game. That was fun to watch.
Since I am a Cowboys fan, I am not a fan of San Francisco or Philadelphia. Love
the cities, not a fan of the teams. Anyway they played each other so now one of
those teams (Philly) are now out of the playoffs. NFL playoff talk is always a
pretty normal discussion point.
Or college football playoffs. I am rooting for Indiana just
because. Texas was out a long time ago, so why not support Indiana. It would be
nice to see them win.
The NHL and the NBA are coming up on the halfway points of
their seasons. Mavericks are struggling so fighting to stay supportive for
them. The Stars always confuse me so will maintain my infamously non bandwagon,
but casual support.
Weather is always a safe topic. Us old folks always love
talking about the weather, even when the weather is boring. A possible snow storm
for the Northeast this weekend. And here in North Texas finally touching on normal
winter temperatures around here. Still a bit warm, but closer to normal than
Christmas week.
Did you make any new year promises or goals? How is that
going since we are just about halfway through the month? No promises to lose
weight or anything here, just going to focus on three words: trust, discipline
and fun. Let’s hope those three thoughts stay true.
Speaking of fun, have you thought about summer vacation yet?
What about any home improvements? Or are you thinking of a
new home? A bit difficult right now, but we can always dream. We have a family
member headed in that direction.
How is your health? Your kids? Anyone receive a scholastic
honor in the fall semester? Or did they miss it by “that much” Any plays,
sports, music success for anyone in the family?
Remember when all this was the norm? There is a plethora of
topics we can enjoy. So why don’t we talk to our neighbors about all these things
for awhile.
The madness isn’t going away so let’s rest our brains and
attitudes for a bit and hopefully refresh our perspectives. Much to the media and
our politicians’ chagrin, we actually all are on the same team.
Doesn’t it annoy the heck out of you when I get trite like
the last few posts?
Laugh people laugh
Cheers
