Lots of lessons, plenty of bumps, one things for sure, I take my lumps,

Find the joy where I can that’s a maxim I hold, the soup may be cold and even quite cold,

I’ll be grateful for the supper all the same, like gold,

Like this blog, these posts, fun to scribble down and share, even a rhythm or two, all bare,

Laid down for all to see, laid out for you and me,

Stay in the mix, that’s my plan, that’s the trick,

Welcome, 2026!
