As time goes on

I like the celebration of the new year because, ultimately, it’s about optimism for the future. That said, this year has already not started out particularly encouraging for me, so here’s a summary of my 2025 in a few key numbers:

Years married: 20Medical specialist tests that found nothing wrong: 8Five-star entries in my twice-daily mood tracker: 44Nights with insomnia and/or bad sleep: 82

Now, on
