2021 was a rough one. I have a couple of nagging injuries that, in a frightening preview of the future, have not been healing. I nearly lost my job. I got Covid (more below). Still, every time I feel myself yielding to sorrow I acknowledge that I have it better than most, perhaps even WAY better than most. I don't need to count my blessings, they are always evident.
I find New Year's resolutions silly, but I do like to renew the two rules I try to live by:
Enhance and enrich the lives of the people I care about.
Fight sloth (the Deadly Sin, not the adorable forest creature).
If I can do those two things well, everything else is gravy.
