It's been a tough two years for most of us in this pandemic. I lost my wife last year and my brother last week.

The fear campaigns had a tough time on Canadian's mental health. This, probably brought about the Truckers Blockade. Like Popeye,"that was all they could stands, they couldn't stands no more". 

I got three vaccinations and a vaccine passport. Inconvenient, but we were fighting the DeltaVariant at the time.

I don't believe vaccine passports are needed with a mild COVID variant like Omicron, but we can live with them for a short while.

I was disappointed that doctors didn't talk about natural immunity and healthy life styles. There's lots material on the internet on those subjects.

Because there were no gyms or saunas for quite awhile, I walked at least twice a day. I ended up losing 25 lbs. 

I listened to high-powered music like the William Tell Overture, Good Golly Miss Molly, and Big Hunk of Love. I also added to my record collection some great rare oldies: Feel So Fine, Bless You, and Rock and Roll is King. 

I also managed to watch some great drama and comedy on Amazon Prime, "The Queen's Gambit", "The Man in the High Castle" and "The Good Place". 

Every night I prayed for healing for all the active COVID cases in Canada and the world. 

We can now start to see the dawn of a new day.
