2022: Reflexions.

Strangely, what's top of mind is sadness at both Prince Philip and Betty White not having made it. Seems so unjust and unfair but that's the world we live in.

Next comes resolutions: in short, Ron, try harder. There is so much that regretfully remains undone and unsaid. If only I had a crystal ball. 

Strive in 2022 to be more authentic, honest and even more human. Take people at face value, not as you would wish them to be.

Remember that one of God's most precious gifts is the emotional power to heal. Do it for yourself and especially so for others.

Meet people half way and build bridges to personal and professional success.

Finally, grow up even more and find the good where you mind only sees the negative -- you came into 21 guarded as hell -- try to start the new year with kindness, warmth and the benefit of the doubt for all those who cross your path.

O'Dowd, suck it up and be a better person than before and thank God for the continued precious gift of life.

Happy New Year!
