December Day 30

Friday

It’s wet… It’s 62°… Since yesterday afternoon over an inch of rain has fallen.

What a difference a week can make and looks of the world around me. That is, if you throw in a few days freezing weather… The number of leaves hanging on to the branches of the deciduous trees as rapidly approaching zero. Even the evergreens appear a bit sparseer.

Here we are… We’re just two days left in 2022. It’s almost funny but, I almost like to call for a do-over but not just for 2022… I’d like to start with 2017. This world has just seemed to go to… You know the place… Ever since he rode that escalator. Maybe, that escalator ride down was more a metaphor than anyone would have expected.

Well, my coffee cup is calling from inside the house. And while sitting in the rocking chair on the back porch is kind of pleasant today, spending my time in retrospection… At least of the past few years will not be a productive waste of time and I have other wastes of time I’d rather be doing.

So y’all stay safe, stay healthy, and pray for this dysfunctional nation and the world. We’re fixing to start a new year maybe… Just maybe, we’ll get this one right.
