So, conspiracy theories. Do you enjoy them? If you do, you’re probably the happiest you’ve ever been.
The Gate of the Year, 2022.
“The Gate of the Year” is the popular name of a poem by Minnie Louise Haskins. She titled it “God Knows.” I’d like for this to give you some comfort facing 2022.
Thanksgiving, the real deal.
I’d just bet that as you approach Thanksgiving, you’re busy. The holidays can wear you out.
These are the good old days.
These sure have been some challenging days. But I’d suggest that for many, these will be their good old days. Here’s why.
