I called Uncle Bubba to wish him a Happy New Year and to ask if he stayed up until midnight to see the new year come into being. I was surprised to here a cheerful, energetic voice on the other end of the line.
"Yes! Sweet Pea and I stayed up until one in the morning" Bubbie exclaimed. He said that he was so glad that 2016 was over.
"Out with the old and in with the new."
He said that when he awoke in the morning the clear, January sun was shining through the southeast window and everything just felt different. It felt fresh and he had an overwhelming of a new beginning. It is also the birthday of his son, whom he was looking forward to seeing later in the day. In Bubbie's view, it's best not to get too high, too manic about life, but keep a positive, balanced outlook and always remember to count your blessings.
