I can’t say I’m sad to see you go…
So here we are at the end of another year — a good deal spent dodging the vicissitudes of life to get to this place…
peering around the corner of a new year with a great hope that the future will cut us all some slack so we can get back to being normalish.
And while I doubt we’ll ever get back to what was once normal…
we can certainly get back to what’s important…
If there’s one thing that’s kept me upright all year, it’s our favorite support pets.
So cheers to them. May they, and us, be blessed with health, happiness and joy in 2022.
Cent’Anni — may you live 100 years, and may balance, joy and creativity be a central part of them all. Happy New Year!

Your absolutely delightful new year wish, and lovely photos (especially of your sleeve-guest 🙂 ) remind me of Eleanor Roosevelt’s “The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.”

Me too Pam – the stat of three persons testing positive for COVID every second is downright cringeworthy, not to mention scary.
