We feasted, we watched <i>The Book of Boba Fett</i>, we shook our heads at the craziness that passed for New Year's parties on TV, and we stuffed our faces with grapes as the Times Square ball dropped. It wasn't too bad. Maybe, next year we'll get to celebrate with more people. Fingers crossed!

But New Year resolutions were not involved for me, either.<br /><br />That tennis player (Novak Djokovic) is not UK but Serbian, and his application for exemption was assessed, along with others, by a medical team who did not know their names. Djokovic was one of only a very few who we accepted. But then it appeared he had the wrong visa! Although I have no sympathy for his anti-vax opinions, I think he may have been treated unfairly in this instance. He is being kept in isolation until the matter is resolved, but is free to leave and go home any time he likes. However he is choosing to stay and challenge the Australian Government's decision in court next week.Rosemary Nissen-Wadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05913841031559499568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7191396899650989619.post-28295089822388654012022-01-07T07:42:58.990-05:002022-01-07T07:42:58.990-05:00I quit making resolutions a long time ago and I am...I quit making resolutions a long time ago and I am elderly. I've quit one vice, smokiing, but that didn't involve a formal resolution. That's a story in itself as was my struggle with opioids. <br />Resolve is necessary for quelling a self controversial habit or trait, my two examples are extremes. I now have no desire for smoking anymore but my body still craves the opioid. On the latter I might welcome having them back by doctors' orders but for years I have left my stashes alone. Sort of like the CW song, "There stands the glass."<br />HAPPY NEW YEAR FOLK. <br />"HAPPY NO FEAR" as well if it suits. I kind of like a little fear if the danger is mine alone and it won't hurt others. Like the unvaccinated tennis star from the UK coming to AUS, no telling how many he might kill without having been jabbed. I would lock him up too. <br />Nice prompting, Rommy.<br />..Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02982249173214655060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7191396899650989619.post-18561261159742654202022-01-07T07:12:42.194-05:002022-01-07T07:12:42.194-05:00Happy New Year everyone !Happy New Year everyone !Cressida de Novahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08781684841036567770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7191396899650989619.post-70176117920538726432022-01-07T06:50:52.102-05:002022-01-07T06:50:52.102-05:00Happy No Fear...

At night I watched the Sydney fireworks on TV, as I always like to do if I can. I'm convinced they are the most spectacular in the world.<br />A friend I ran into today said that instead of Happy New Year he is wishing people `Happy No Fear'. I like that! Sensible caution is fine, and necessary, but extreme fear can make people crazy. So, I say Happy No Fear to us all!Rosemary Nissen-Wadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05913841031559499568noreply@blogger.com
