There’s no way of getting around it. The last couple of years have kicked our collective butts. One might say, “to hell and back”. It’s entirely possible I’m the one that would say that. OK, yes. I am the one. Things had deteriorated so badly by the last day of 2021 I found myself holding my breath waiting for it to be over. We made it through the morning of, but by late after noon we all had heard about losing Betty White. It felt like a kick to the butt, stomach and face. It was a big loss for humanity. B Mo The Prince pretty much summed it up in with this…
It felt a little like joy, laughter and light had been sucked right out of us. As the day went on I kept looking over my shoulder for some other bad news to catch up. Then it occurred to me. Had this happened on the first day of 2022 it would have been a foreshadowing of what lay ahead for the rest of the year. Definitely a year I wouldn’t want to actively participate in. In my head I started thinking…
Betty White was always very positive… By all accounts she was not afraid to meet her maker and was looking forward to being reunited with the love of her life and husband, Allan Ludden… Perhaps she chose to give us this final gift… To exit stage left at the end of a very bad year and leave us with nothing but a bright shining New Year ahead…
As I mulled over the possibilities (yes, that’s how I mull), a post popped up from my Blogger Buddy, Elyse. As soon as I saw it, I knew it to be true.
All day, January 1st, 2022, I waited to see what would happen. The earth did not implode and take us with it. It was a very quiet day. On this second day of this new year I have decided to give it a chance and hope that joy, laughter and light will become more dominant in our lives. So…I will try again…
Love this!
Your younger Seester ♥️💋
Thank you!
I’m tentatively hopeful this will be a better, more normal year, but I’m not betting on it. Thank goodness Betty White, in all her glorious roles, will be around forever. Especially Sue Ann Nivens and Rose Nyland, with her St. Olaf stories!
There are not many people who can make me out right laugh like she does. Thank goodness for syndication!
Yes, let’s keep trying. I’m certain these are the last waves, because Betty White did her thing. RIP to that lovely lady and that ugly C word thing.
Oh, yes, THAT ugly C word. I really don’t care if it rests in peace as long as it gets the hell out of our lives. Thanks for stopping by Life with Alegria.
Michelle. You have such a Great Talent. I Love You. May God Continue to Bless You and Paul. 🙏🙏. Cousin Ray 😘
Ray, you are too kind. I do hope it won’t be long before we can see you and Ruth again. Much Love XXOO
I do think Betty took most of the bad from the last couple of years with her…her final good deed for humanity. I know that 2022 will be better! xoxo
I definitely appreciate her good form in choosing to pass in 2021 instead of starting 2022 off on a low note.
