Farewell, 2021 - a photo on Flickriver

Farewell, 2021

            Traveling tomorrow—covid willing and the airline flies—so I’m posting the end-of-year look back today. I have mixed feelings—the year and the photo fell short of aspirations, held unpleasant surprises, still offered some interest and comfort. Metastatic cancer diagnosed this year is incurable, but so far has offered no physical discomfort at all. Expecting a few years yet of active enjoyment.

Wishing you all joyous renewal and bountiful prospects, 
in this and every season! 

“You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes, well, you just might find
You get what you need”
—Mick Jagger & Keith Richards.
