December 25, 2021 – Merry Christmas 2021!

Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays, everyone!

Last year (2020), I wrote, “My wife and I’s socially distancing Christmas Eve dinner with a few family went well. Some folk weren’t able to make it, masks were worn when appropriate, three air purifiers were in use and a large open balcony door kept us cool but with constant fresh air ❤️ And, we got to see each other 💕 “

This year we got to see a lot fewer folk, including my mom who passed earlier this year, and many of our grandchildren and children, who were wise to stay put if anyone tested positive or places they’d meant to go to weren’t safe for folks on either end of the visit.

But we’re too close to overcoming this virus now to give in to despair or recklessness.

This is the season of hope, of belief, and of faith – and with all our hearts, we wish you and yours all the best this holiday season and beyond 💕

Adan 🙏 ❤️

  …much of this whole write-up about Summer 2025, I discovered while writing this very post – a very similar creative path I experience painting. That’s part of what the creative effort does for me – helps me make sense of things I feel but can’t yet explain.

Thanks again, everyone! 😊
