Thought of the Day - October 25 2021 - 500th Blog!

Who'da thought some twenty months ago, when things started to get serious here in Canada, that I'd still be at it. It has been quite a journey.

From a simple 'Tip of the Day', to the wide gamut of topics from around the world.

So today I am going to indulge myself with a quick throwback to another obsession - I mean hobby - from years gone by "Memes by YaYaYa".

It has been a crazy ride. Amazing how much the world got wrong, and how much the world got right.

• We ignored and then learned from the past;

• We embraced "expert" recommendations from the media, and they learned they were not always right;

• We ignored and then embraced the need for changes to work, rest and play;

• We learned that money alone cannot fix COVID;

• We learned that big business and big government do not always have our best interests in mind;

• We learned that vaccination is only part of the solution;

• We have also learned that COVID, and the resulting mitigations, are not going away anytime soon - this is the new normal;

• But most of all, we also learned to help and support each other.

Thank you. Thank you all that have provided ideas, material, readership, and inspiration for these articles.

Thoughts that started in the neighbourhood are now embellished with contributions from around the world. And, given the state of the world, and the fact that COVID will be with us for quite a while longer, I think I just might also be continuing for some time to come. After all . . .

Keep those ideas coming!

Cheers

Cliff
