Happy New Year! (For
real-real, this year, I hope.)
It’s a strange thing for me to reflect on the year that was
2021. With COVID-19 continuing to run rampant, variants quickly became the
issue of the year. Fortunately, I remained healthy, whether thanks to being
fully vaccinated + boosted, my lack of needing to be often out and about, sheer
luck, or any combination of two or all three. 2021 was difficult in other ways,
though. Like in unexpectedly saying goodbye to my grandfather. Even when someone’s
led a long life, life doesn’t tend to prepare the living for unexpected
goodbyes.
I look to
2022 with positivity. I want to be
better, do better, think better. I want to be a better me
today than I was yesterday and better tomorrow than I was today.
Wherever
you are in life – physically, mentally, spiritually, emotionally – my wish is
that your 2022 is blessed, healthy, happy, loving, and bountiful. Dream big
dreams and spread positivity. Empower others as you’d want others to empower
you. Don’t be afraid to ask for help or ask questions. Try new things. Step out
of your comfort zone. But most of all, live your life well!
Love you,
Lisa.
Thank you for your reflection on 2021, Lisa! So beautifully written and thought provoking. Happy New Year to you, my friend!
