The Echoes of My Year's Lessons were Found in Tarot Cards at a Karaoke Bar

Hold on to the Positive
The past year has been a rollercoaster of emotions, starting with helping our youngest children move out on their own this past January, amidst a housing shortage.

What Did You Mean to Write?
Time has no idea that there is a calendar... or a five-day work week... or school semesters... or even 24 hours in a day. Time doesn't recognize the shortest day of the year (December 21), which is actually also the longest night of the year (of which Time cares not a whit.)
