It's been a long year. The pandemic is settling in to be the new normal as we no longer have time to reach herd immunity---the virus has mutated past that.
We do have lot's of herd mentality.
We had our capital infiltrated by enemies for the first time since 1814---which was during an actual war.
We saw a 17 year old take an illegally purchased weapon to a protest via mom's driving him across state lines, and he was found not guilty.
We saw a gal pal of pedophile Epstein get convicted of trafficking---sentencing to follow.
We saw an attack on Roe vs. Wade, not overturned yet, but plenty of states have made ending an unwanted pregnancy difficult to illegal.
It has been a weird year.
I'm ready for 2022.
I'm ready for normal, though I suspect a new normal is coming.
We are going to make that new normal.
Let's make it a good year: a year of peace, a year of equality, a year of equity, a year of love.
Bye, 2021, may you rest your weary bones.
Welcome 2022.
All hope lies in you.
