What a year this has been! The list of challenges and issues is long, headed by the pandemic.

Historically, pandemics have never been easy. They disrupt everything and try the patience of mankind’s souls.

As the virus continues to mutate, as much as we would like to think so, it isn’t over yet. There is really not much left to do but mask up, get vaccinated, maintain our social distancing stance and stay hopeful.

As we all step up our plans for the holiday season and the  year end celebrations, it is good to  constantly remind ourselves that we will prevail:

Everyone, in his or her’s way, forever changed; but facing the future, armed with courage and renewed hope, pen in hand, ready  to write a new chapter in their book:

Best written, I think, as in the words attributed to T.S. Eliot, that “last year’s words belong to last year’s language. And next year’s words await another voice.“

Fist raised high in the air, say HELLO to 2022!
