29 December …

Short but Heartfelt …   

~~~

Visits from both sons (and families) recently !!! 

~~~

Interactions with all neighbors (including the hermit next door) last thursday with only two exceptions (one out of town … the other with a berm too high for me to scale … I’ll get back to them when possible). 

~~~

House is warm, fridge-freezer-cupboards all stocked, and back-up generator working as expected.

~~~

Relearned how to tie a Navy kerchief.

~~~

One puzzle left unsolved … a set of animal tracks in snow alongside the car under the carport.  Will be solved, just don’t know how soon.

 Only two days left in 2021.

“It’s time to go.” said Bear.

“But where are we going?” asked Rabbit.

“Forward,” said Bear, “we can’t stay here anymore.”

“So much has happened here though. I don’t know that I can move on.” said Rabbit.

“You can stay if you want,” said Bear, “but life won’t wait with you.”

“It won’t?” asked Rabbit.

“No,” said Bear, “besides, up ahead there might be something wonderful.”

“You think so?” asked Rabbit.

“I think…” said Bear, “if you stay here, you’ll never know.”

… and …

Each of us must understand that our time in this world is so short that darkening it with useless arguments, jealousy, not forgiving, discontent, and bad attitudes are a ridiculous waste of time and energy.

Whatever the problem, remember that our journey together is too short.

No one knows the length of our trip. 

Appreciate.

Be respectful, kind and forgiving.

So,‘til next week … Wishes for a Blessed 2022 for all of us.
