The 2025th thing I learned in 2025

Sorry for the delay on this one.  I've had a few computer issues
and I'm in the midst of hosting an absolutely wonderful New Year's
Eve party. Happy New Year! This painting is right for tonight, because
one of my big dreams for 2026 is to visit Paris. 

Here's something I wrote a few years ago that seems especially relevant now.

"Believing leads to change

The heart of all creativity in part is a belief that it can happen. I can
make that drawing, you can write that book, we can solve this hard
scientific, and behavioural problem of the viruses.  And we can solve
climate change, if we believe we can change our ways, and take 
action to do it, and follow through. Let's join forces in a kind and
loving way to effect the change that needs to happen in 2026.
I believe we can."

Without belief there is no action, and we need to believe that the
grim wars happening now can end, and we can focus on living
in peace.

Thank you again for all of your kindness and support.  You
make me happy.

Have a loving your life day!
