This is it. The last day of the year. I saw a headline that noted we are entering the third year of living with the coronavirus pandemic. The headline struck me. Three years. I don’t know where these two years went. So much haze.
With said haze in mind, I sat down intending to write about my top experiences of the year. Then as I started to scour my brain to remember what had happened this year and what would I rate as a top experience not much came to mind. It isn’t that it was an absolutely horrible year, it just was a year in which hope rode a rollercoaster. It was a year of hard work. It was a year of vast change and yet not enough change. It was a year of great ambivalence.
I’d say my best day was the day my son and I went shopping for hours on end and he didn’t complain. He even seemed to enjoy it. I was thrilled. We shopped. We ate pizza. We watched a movie together. We laughed. I vented about work. He vented about school. It was a perfect day.
As for other days, there were good and there were bad ones. I am grateful for it all. I am grateful for the honors and recognition I received this year. A group at a bar even thought I was a daytime emmy winner when I came in with my healthcare hero award. That was funny. I am grateful for some really great meals I had before delta and omicron hit and made some places close. I am grateful that I had no adverse reaction whatsoever to the booster. I am grateful that we found a school my son likes. I am grateful for new friendships and deepening relationships. I am grateful that I got through the bad days with my sense of humor intact.
2022 let’s see what you got!

Yes, Yes, yes! Oh my God Yes! it Does Seem
Like 2020 And 2021 Are One Year Perhaps
2022 Will Finally At Least End Tidal Waves
Of Covid-19 Infections For the New Year
As That is the ‘Promise’ For
the Upcoming New Year
i Heard For A Minute
or Two on the Big
Screen in the
Great Room
The Only Place
i See it For A Few
Minutes While i Eat…
No, It Doesn’t Give me
Indigestion Matter of Fact Nothing
Does HeLL ON EartH Before for
66 Months Shut-In With that Worst
Pain Known to Humankind From Wake
to Sleep Has Practically Inoculated me
For Any Fresh Hell to Come in Fact For me
At Least i’ve Adapted to What i Could No Longer
Do And Have Become Involved in New Creation Activities
With So Many Poets Globally That i Would Likely Not Have
Connected With if Not
For Everyone Else
Seeking More
Online
Connections
Too Shut-In And
Away From “Normal”
Activities Suspended Still
For So Long Now And It’s True
For Decades Working The only
Real Positive Experience i Could Look
Back on Is Honestly Just Cutting the Grass
As That Was the Only Escape for A Couple of
Hours From the Stress of ALL THE ABSTRACT CONSTRUCTS
MODERN CULTURE BRINGS THAT TAKES US AWAY FROM OUR
NATURE AND THE NATURE THAT EXISTS ALL AROUND US that i
i Was So totally
Separated From
Except for that Couple
of Hours Cutting Grass
Every Three Weeks or So then…
It’s True For me at Least i Couldn’t
Ask for A Greater Gift Than Writing
This Creativity in Autotelic Flow of Bliss
At this Very Moment Now For True When
We Generate Our Own Happiness This Way
Everything Else in Life that Might Happen Nice
Is Only Icing Already on Our Naked Cake Enough
Whole Complete
That Really Needs
No Additives At All
For Complete Now
True though
Icing
Will Be Nice
Now and then
And True This
Year i’ve had More
Than Ever Before too With SMiLes…
i Am So Happy You Received the ‘Healthcare Hero Award’
This Year, Surely All Health Care Workers Deserve An Award Like This!
With the Pandemic Environment The Last Two Years Truly All of You Deserve A
Break and to Be Appreciated and Respected By Everyone More in Cooperation in 2022!..:)
