Burning to see the moon

Barn's burnt down
now
I can see the moon.
—Mizuta Masahide

The year 2020 was a scorcher, wasn’t it? A heck of a lot of “barns” burned down.

So hard. So sad.

But . . . what can you see now, that you couldn’t see before?

“You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.”
—Maya Angelou

Thank you. We made the eggnog on Christmas Day, and it was unanimously approved. It has nice colour and flavour without being overwhelmingly thick and sweet.
