Forgive me for the long absence. Life has been challenging and I tend to spend more time on Facebook and Twitter than minding this blog. But I wanted to post today.
I hope all of you are safe, warm and secure surrounded by people who love and care for you.
I know this has been another hard year, but things are better. Thanks to brilliant scientists we have vaccines and medicines that hold so much promise even beyond Covid.
I know climate change is a true threat, but now more and more people, and more importantly, more and more political leaders are accepting the reality, and (see above) brilliant scientists who will help us find solutions to protect the planet and this crazy little species that managed to rise to sentience on this ball of dirt.
There is still music and art and dance and drama and yes, even comedy though it might be harder to laugh right now, and literature. Always literature, stories that inspire and move us.
And the universe is still mysterious and wondrous and yet somehow we learn more and more each day that makes it even more sublime.
So, let’s all hang in there for another year. I know we can do it. I know I can do it because of all the fun and support from you good people who share some time reach out to me and say hello. I want you to know how much I appreciate it.
Thank you. An inspiring way to start this hopeful day.
You’re welcome and thank you. We all just have to be there for each other right now.And I’ve always been that kid who sees a room of horse shit and assumes that there has to be a pony in there somewhere. I’m trying to hang onto that optimism in my old age.🤪
Thank you, Melinda 🙂 It’s nice to read something positive that still has an eye to reality. Hope your writing muse keeps you busy in 2022!
You’re welcome. I just can’t live in a constant state of upset and high alt or deep depression. I’ve got to lift my head occasionally and see the good and the promise of the future. Like the new James Webb space telescope that’s going to tell us so much about the universe and it’s origins.
