Where were you on January 6th, 2021? I keep thinking these last years of our democracy should be savored but find they are ruined by the dismal response to the worldwide pandemic, our climate change denial in the midst of increasing violent weather and the public delusions I encounter here in Western Colorado. I understand the turning away from reality. I was scammed in the year 2021, and suffice it to say I learned a lesson about how very easy it is for another person to alter your reality in such a way that they gain power and completely alter a sane mind. This explains our Mesa County politics and our national loss of unity, the nutty conspiracies and the hatefulness given full rein.
I decided to review my 7th decade with some shine applied. The world is still full of incredible beauty, loving open hearted, fun loving people and opportunities to explore. I am so very grateful.
