HAPPY NEW YEAR! I don't think anyone actually reads what I write here. But if you're reading this, I wish you a happy, prosperous 2019! As for me, I am praying and hoping for a happy and prosperous 2019 for me and my family as well. I've started a workout routine with a personal trainer. It costs a lot of money but I really need it. I am working for a more healthy 2019. I do pray also for continued good health of my family. My mom is facing a serious health problem at the moment, and I just pray she comes out of that healthy and well. I also hope that my employment situation remains positive. I love my jobs, working for IBM and have some side teaching gigs. IBM is a wonderful company to work for, and I have a great boss and great team. With all the changes happening in the world of AI and cloud, I can only hope that I get to keep doing what I love. So here's to a great 2019 for all of us! .
