Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

and I vote for shiny ponies, a surprise bag of money, more humane politics and politicians, and a beverage of choice

You've got my vote!

I'm just poking my nose in here to say I haven't done my greeting cards yet, but I fully intend to still, so don't give up on me! I bought stamps last week fully expecting to get them out this past weekend, but my still-not-quite-back-to-normal GI system had other ideas. But I will yet prevail!

Our wings are not tired

Last year, and honestly the year before that have been a lot. I'm not sure how to even put it into words.

What is even happening?

Shiri, congratulations!

Plei, I am sorry about the house situation. It's so nice to see you here, though.

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

Voting for ponies! And congratulations on submitting your thesis, Shir!

Congrats, Shir!

Indeed. May 2022 be far more boring and uneventful. A whole lot less stressful would rock too.

A heartfelt thank you to all who have sent cards, including one received today! I didn't do any holiday decorating this year, for reasons, and the cards lifted our spirits so much. To those who didn't get around to it yet, know it is no less joy, and adds an extra element of surprise to receive cards in any month. Love you all.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

My cards have not all gone out but I am thinking of you all and will try to get there.

I don't really want to look back on this year. There was good as well as bad, but I really just want to put it in a box, put the box in the attic, and be done with it.

Hard same.

Thrive to spite them

I'm sorry Pickles didn't work out but it sounds like she will find a good home. And there are piggies out there that will be a good fit for Prubs and the Zhmayems.

Good luck Amy. Sheryl it must be tough having to give up something that is such a big part of your life. Hopefully though in the future it will be something all of you can do in the future.
