Hey Y’all,
Sorry I’ve been absent the last couple weeks. The first week I just was worn out … work and life had been hectic.
The second week … um, I just forgot. Even Beth forgot, and she’s usually the one that keeps me on my toes.
And now we’re in holiday mode. Despite omicron and the pandemic, I’m uncharacteristically optimistic about 2022. For one, 2022 is just a really nice-sounding, round number. For another, I think this omicron thing will burn itself out pretty fast (it already has in South Africa, where it was first detected). For still another, Beth and I just had a splendid visit with a beloved friend, whom we hadn’t seen in two years, reminding us both of what that’s like, and that such things can happen if you do them carefully.
Hoping to do a lot more that kind of thing.
Mostly, I’m feeling grateful. For my health. For my family. For you readers. And for our friends. See you next year.
Aww, shucks. You guys are the splendid ones. It was a most wonderful time for us all. I am hopeful about the coming year as well. Let’s keep sharing the love. We have so many things for which we should be thankful. Cheers to 2022!
You’re right, 2022 just kinda has a nice ring to it! I am cautiously optimistic, too. Happy New Year!
The word of the Covid years is “lassitude” — it’s hard to stay on top of all that we’re trying to do. Thanks for sharing that you’re human. I share your hopes for 2022.
Lassitude is perfect for these times. Thanks, I forgot that word existed.
So wonderful to read you and gratefully receiving your good wishes. I missed those words of wisdom from you, as well as from Beth, yet the silence somehow fit well into the season. Thank you for sharing your optimism, it reinforces my own. And so we are here, awaiting with open arms a better and better New Year. Wishing you a Healthy and Happy 2022!!!
Hope to see you at Jazz Showcase!
