2 Weeks into 2026

I didn’t lose as much weight this time, but its still a loss so that’s a win to me! I walked and ran and increased mileage and my feet and lungs are getting used to it. I haven’t been stretching as much though. I am thinking that with it being now two weeks into the new year, I can start going back to the gym. I am hoping it has all died down. I think I read somewhere that by the second Friday of the new year, most resolutions have failed.

I continue to play How Deep is Your Love as often as I can. For our Ukulele meetups, which we’ve had both in person and online, we’re finalizing our playlist and playing through them. March 1st will be our next show and I’m ready for it.

I am troubled with the state of the United States and I strongly disagree with the conduct of many of our government officials. Its disheartening and sad and I’m hoping for better times ahead; but there has been some reporting lately that ICE is in town and of course I worry for my son’s safety; despite the fact that he was born in the united states. News from many sources are showing that ICE is instigating civil unrest and the reactions of some ‘friends’ is causing me to avoid them.

I started looking for different ways to spend my time online. I can’t with Facebook, I’ve been off Twitter for a good many years, Blusky has millions outraged with politics, my Reddit is covering politics, its so hard to avoid so I’ve taken solace in Tumblr. Not posting there, but more to have a feed that is about art, quotes, inspiration and positivity.
