Last night of the year .. of the decade. Walking the dog in a small alley behind my building. It's quiet. Light drizzle. A little snow from earlier. People are still getting to their various parties.

So much to think about. So much has happened. It has been an incredible ride. Some high highs, and some very low lows. Still a few unresolved issues.

But now it feels good. I feel calm. Hopeful. Strong. Happy. Content. It's a good last night closing out a long decade.
