Three Score and Now Eleven + Day 136 A New Year 2022

Three Score and Now Eleven + Day 136
Dear Grandsons

It is December 31, 2021 and writing to you is my last item on the to do list for year 2021. And I am happy about that. I did get the snow blower repaired today and items shipped at the last moment. The year 2021 I am glad to say will be over shortly. And then we can turn a new leaf and then a New Year. so now I write the review of 2021.

The year was stressful for us, It seemed everything was a chore, everything took longer and was difficult. It was harder to stay motivated. Our garage roofing job ruined a good part of the summer. Maybe the years are catching up with me. I am tired of the fight and struggle to accomplish. I will not say that 2022 cannot be worse than 2021, because last year I thought 2021 could not be worse than 2020, It was. But I have good hope for 2022. I will put less on the to do list, lower my obligation expectations. Yes, there will be things to do as there needs to be, But I hope at a reasonable level. I want to spend more good time in the Kayak and boat on a nice day fishing. I want to see you Grandchildren more. I want to set outside in the north and watch the Hummers and other birds, Butterflies and Bees. I would like the wife and I too take some day trips as we have wanted to do. I would like to spend time with the grown kids and my brothers. What it comes down to is finding Harmony with God and his Creation. That is what I want.

The year 2021 was certainly not all bad. First off God remained at our side through the year, and we remained healthy. God once more provided for us. His natural world's weather did the job. Most of our garden's did well. We are now eating what was provided. We did get much of our to do list done and even some things not on the list. The entire family remained healthy for which I am very Thankful. Our Little Dog and Big Cat continue to give us therapy when we need it. We Thank God for walking with us and providing therapy the whole year long and we pray he will continue to do in the year 2022. I Trust and have Faith he will.

Tonight, New Year's Eve, we will stay home and welcome in the new year together, The wife and me. We normally went out to sing and dance. But know that is in the past. She now is making cheese Fondue which we have not had at the house. It is special for me. It is a good way to welcome the new year. I wish you all a Blessed and Happy and Successful New Year, 2022
