Yes of course I mourn all the well-known folks that left our human tribe this year.
Then I thought of the friends this year who fought a cancer or illness and found the strength to abate them. Or those who lost love by a passing or the disrespect to vows made and still managed to muster a smile towards me. Reminded of those whose dream business or idea got caught in the undertow of conditions out of their control but who showed me that their enthusiasm is boundless.
Death & setbacks are not wanted parts in life but the human spirit is resilient.
