Goodbye and Good Riddance 2021: Let’s Hope Next Year’s Variant is Better  

Take stock, reflect, butch, moan, vent. We are all here for it.

Our wings are not tired.

Oh dcp, surviving 2021 clearly was a major accomplishment. I'm sorry it has been so much and sincerely hope 2022 is much easier. I really understand how frustrated and upset you must be with the mood and mental changes. It is a much more common issue with many illnesses and treatments than is often discussed. I do enjoy seeing your photography and hope that you are feeling enough energy to do more of it next year.

Cancer is bad. Do not recommend.

Ain't that the truth. Thank you for your card! It was lovely grace note.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Oh DCP, that's four or five years crammed into one.

Here's to your 2022 being simple and kind.

dcp, that is so much to deal with. It is good to hear that keeping it beaten down is working.

In card news, thanks, Laura for the seeds of love, and sj... could your girl be more awesome? Evidence suggests not! Love having you all on my mantle!

My wish is that we all have a boring 2022.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Very boring, indeed. Snooze-worthy, in fact. We all need a breather.

That indeed was a hell of a lot to get through, dcp--so glad to have you here.

sj-the card is adorable, thank you.

Laura--hugs to you, just 'cause. You too, msbelle.

I cannot see how, but I am biased. Thank you!
