The end of 2021....but what does that mean?

 

   As yet another year winds down, I will dust this thing off and reflect on the last year (or two) and start to map out the incoming new year...2022!!  Wow...that sounds weird.  

   We are wrapping up a two year stretch that has got to be one of the weirdest two years in human history. I am not sure if that is true exactly, but it certainly feels that way, doesn't it?  I have said for the last six months, that 2021 might be stranger than 2020.  I seem to think that COVID and everything that surrounds it has made it, and will continue to make it weirder, stranger, or whatever adjective you want to use.  I am also afraid to say, that I don't see any end to COVID in the foreseeable future.  Unless more people take it more seriously, it will remain to be the case.  I am not going to get in to all of that shit here.  I think we are probably all sick of rehashing the same things related to all things COVID.  I will remain to take all for the precautions needed to ensure that me and everyone around me, stays as clear from COVID as possible.  That is my choice....


   Of course as a new year rolls around, I always take some time to make resolutions.  Why not?  Resolutions are just goals,  and setting goals can be a good thing, whether reached or not.  I think the usual suspects will be on my lists.....reading, getting healthy, etc, etc....what are some of your goals for 2022?  I continue to read, but fell off a little the second half of this year.  I hope to get back on it this year, I need to continue to try and finish all of the Stephen King books (yeah, right!!)


   Running is something else that I very much try to do and get better at.  I hope to start back on that horse the first week of the New Year.  I need to get healthy.  It ain't going get any easier the older I get, and time is definitely marching on.  Not to mention, that I have pretty much picked up the twenty pounds that I lost in 2017-2018.  That was something that I should have never let happen because I really feel the extra weight, and I feel terrible.  


   There is so much more that I can type up here and make this post go on and on and on, but I will wrap it up here.  I just wanted to get something in the books.   I have thought about blogging and journalling a lot the end of this year so wanted to act on that.  I am not sure what 2022 will bring, but I think things are going to change, and I'm sure things aren't going to get any easier for anyone in the future.  Having said that, I do think that making some goals/resolutions and trying to chip away at them one day at a time will help get these goals (for me or for anyone) accomplished as we try to make the absolute best of what will be handed to us in 2022.  I wish nothing for the best for everyone and for myself as I try to get focused and to continue on as best as I can.  Won't you all join in with me?  Let's do this!
