2021

2021 was supposed to be better.
Better than what?

I guess it was better than 2020,

but ...

really?

However ...

perspective is everything ...

if you choose to look carefully,

there are beautiful things

that 2021 brought to us.

It taught us to slow down,

to reconnect - on a plethora of facets,

to pause and reflect,

to mourn loss with dignity,

to welcome new love and new life,

to try to things,

to tackle new tasks,

to not just be outside of our comfort zones,

but to actually be outside,

to enjoy one another,

to choose to see the good,

to chase the dreams,

to realize our potential and our worth.

There is still much work to do ...

to be kinder,

nicer,

gentler people.

Perhaps we will meet those goals

in 2022.

Be safe. Be well. Be happy. Be.

Happy New Year's Eve!
