Did 2021 really just end? Or, has my mind just gone a little crazy? What a year it has been with broken pipes, migraine headaches, canceled trips, a newly published book, untimely deaths, graduations, fishing, shelling, beach walks, time with family, good health, AND friends like you.
LESSONS LEARNED FROM 2021:
- Make plans but be prepared to cancel or postpone
- Research what is being said from the government down to your doctor and pharmacist.
- Live each moment to its fullest.
- Appreciate the wonderful Florida weather…even the humidity.
- Reach out to friends and strangers in need.
- Keep writing despite vision issues…dictate your stories, blogs, etc.
- Clean out the cupboards, closets, and donate to those in need.
- AND FINALLY, SPREAD YOUR LOVE.
Here are two music videos that will lift your spirits, give you hope, and fill your heart with love.
Wishing you each a blessed 2022.

It has indeed been a crazy year and one of lessons, Karen. I loved your photo and poem. Definitely thoughts to meditate upon. Your lessons learned list was also one I found insightful.
Thanks for sharing the music vids, too. I love both of those songs as performed by those artists.
Happy New Year. Wishing you a healthy and blessed 2022!

Thank you, Mae, for your comments. I believe that we each have two purposes: one is to love and the second one is to learn from everyday events (positive and negative). Those two music selections exemplify my philosophy of life. Wishing you a blessed 2022.

Thank you, dear Karen, for this lovely post. I love your lessons learned and whenever I get down by life, I turn to Louis Armstrong and Israel Kamakawiwo’ole to re-find joy. What big hearts they had! 💗 I hope this New Year blesses you and all of us with greater freedom, deeper peace, and abundant joy. 🤗
