Happy 2022
Added 2022-01-02 21:58:02 +0000 UTCHere is to hoping this year starts better than 2021 ended!
I’m just getting over a bout of Covid-19 and my second ruined Christmas vacation since I’ve had a job that gives me vacations.
The good news is I’m faring much better than I did when I had this two Christmases ago (pre-vaccine). We didn’t yet know what Covid was, but I was sicker than I had ever been in my life, and once it was over, I lost my taste for 3 months. Compared to that experience, this is nothing.
I was also able to book an impromptu vacation to NOLA in place of the Dead & Company concert vacation in Mexico I was forced to cancel.
I still had a very joyful Christmas and got to see my family in early December before I got sick. More good news: two of my three siblings caught Covid as well and were fine, but the two people I was most worried about, my mom and sister (both immunocompromised) seem to be totally immune. (They both have O negative blood, so maybe there really is something to that theory?)
Despite a year full of disappointments outside of my control, I am truly grateful for all I have:
- stable employment & health benefits
- my health & the health of my loved ones
- a strong, healthy relationship
- a home of my own
- a snuggly cat
- sobriety
- music
I hope you’re able to find the little silver linings in all the grey going on!
Since there is snow on the forecast where I am, here is a warm, sunny series from The Desert Adventure! The wonderful portrait artist George Streng captured these in Moab in 2018. Portraiture is not easy unless you happen to be working with someone like George.
Another series is up at $5+
A nude series from this day will be up tonight at $25+
Thank you for your support! Keep smiling!
