Close your eyes and go backward in time with me– after you’re done reading of course. This video from Badly Drawn Boy was the 4th blog post I made back in 2011, which feels like a century ago. The current health situation combined with social anxiety and the need for truth and clarity brought me back to this video. When I looked up the meaning to the song’s title, Year of the Rat, it said: “the rat typically represents new beginnings. They are powerful symbols of fertility, wealth and plenty, so people born in the Year of the Rat are considered to be optimistic, easy-going and kind.” It’s my hope that we can all hold on until we find some new energy.

God only knows how much I need family, friends, fresh air and optimism. This has been the hardest year I can remember.
Best wishes to all the Rats out there!
May we all come in out of the proverbial rain!
I don’t know much about the Chinese calendar son , but I know when you were born I said you looked like a pirate, and you’ll always be my pirate ; the har-har-hardiest of ‘em all.
Thanks Dad!
