Season's Greetings, 2021

12/22/2021

Best wishes to all the nice people who read My Little Therapy Website, and those who add their comments, making this a community of sorts.

We give thanks for our blessings in the middle of all this. We know some people who are not well right now, and we wish for health.

I am planning a little holiday pause, no words, no pictures, no opinions, just wishes for peace and health for all.

Dear G,
Thanks for bringing so much of the outside world into our home in 2021. We drop everything to read your posts, and are particularly touched when you write so lovingly of Marianne. Stay warm, stay healthy, stay optimistic. This isn't one that will not be over when the fat lady sings, but it will be over. We look forward to the next time we can be together.
Ina & Maury

Enjoy the mini-break from your website. Everyone should periodically step back and small the roses.

Sandi and I were married on Christmas Eve and are celebrating our 60th an anniversary. It seems like it was yesterday.

All the best for a happy and healthy New Year to all the loyal followers of George's blog.

QUOTES
Welcome to World Cup 2022, the most absurd thing that the routinely absurd world of sports has ever produced.
Those extreme descriptions were what virtually the entire world, save for those who had walked off with bags of cash from Qatar, called the awarding of soccer’s greatest event to the incredibly tiny, incredibly wealthy country back in 2010.
Twelve years ago, many were convinced this event couldn’t possibly happen: staging the world’s biggest sporting event in a country the size of Connecticut, one with zero soccer culture and even less soccer infrastructure? The tournament couldn’t possibly take place in 120-degree heat, and FIFA, the governing body of soccer, most certainly wouldn’t upend football leagues around the world to change the traditional summer schedule, could it?
And, for God’s sake, what about the beer?
Those were just the logistical concerns. The moral concerns are far more distressing. FIFA, so busy paying lip service to equality, couldn’t possibly expect the world to embrace a country where you could go to prison for being gay, where women’s rights are severely curtailed and female victims of sexual assault could go to prison, charged with engaging in extramarital sex. And all those questions came before the global realization that the World Cup was being built on the backs of migrant labor: modern-day slaves held in Qatar with virtually no rights, low wages and no ability to leave. Migrants make up 90% of Qatar’s stated population of 3 million. The country’s native-born equal about 300,000, or roughly the size of Anaheim.
