Day 184 of Week 27 for 2026

 Mid way of 2026 was day 182.5 July. You can feel the year is half over or celebrate another half is left to enjoy. Summer 2026 is 93 days from 21 June to 23 September. There are 81 days left of summer 2026. 

If the passage of time interests you, then keep a journal that numbers the days. Instead of floating on your future as a background always there, enjoy the your view, the one you create for as much as you are able.

Farewell to November this Sunday increases the energy of a New Year approaching. What will 2026 bring? Not keen on resolutions, but I have thoughts.

Many people, I believe, not just Americans, need relief from current events’ turmoil. Absorbing the positive vibe of possibilities from a new year need not be wasted because there is so much going on to feel bad about. 

A family tradition we started decades ago, is to not argue during the holidays. It is not as easy as it may sound. The atmosphere created by that mind set makes the air feel lighter and positive.
