My Sometimes-Long-Winded Thoughts
While yesterday’s sunshine melted most of the snowfall, today is
cloudy and sure looks like more snow is on the way.
Last night’s Celebrating America was stunning. I really enjoyed
it and it was clear that we need to be united. I went back and read the
National Youth Poet Laureate Amanda Gorman’s poem. One of my favorite lines was:

of what just is
Isn’t always just-ice
This young woman wrote an amazing poem and read it with such strength.
I had a phone appointment with my PCP. It went well, he is decreasing one
of my thyroid meds. All good. He could offer new info on getting the vaccine
here, but did say ‘with a new President, it should get easier very soon’.
