If there was a label for a year, this would be a year to forget.
It felt like 2021 was trying compete with 2020 as being the worst year.
As we bid good riddance to 2021, I recall having the same attitude towards 2020 the end of last year. So a flip of the calendar does not mean things go away, it just signifies a new chapter, and hope. So here to hoping for a better 2022.
The Bad
- Health, was pretty bad. That is the headliner, fighting an illness, good news is we caught it early and prognosis is good. Late April was the start of a dark depressing time for me.
- No end to Corona, it just won’t go away. I think continue till at least Q2, but this year will mark its decreasing be a significant margin.
- Jan 6 riots, can’t believe that happened in my lifetime. Really unprecented.
- One of the health issues was back pain due to significant weight gain.

- Eldest son moved out in December. sad without him.
