Best Wishes For 2022!
Posted in Health, Philosophy, tagged Best Wishes For 2022, Happy New Year's Eve, Philosophy on December 31, 2021| 2 Comments »
| Cheers to you, my blog readers! Here are my suggested resolutions for 2022 (and, yes, I know they are almost exactly the same as for 2021): | |
| Stay Alive. Stay Healthy. | |
| 1) Wash your hands frequently | |
| 2) Practice social distancing (try to stay at least 6 feet away from other people) | |
| 3) If you have to gather, gather outside (but still remember #2) | |
| 4) Wear a mask anytime you are outside your home and any time you answer the door! | |
| 5) Get your vaccination / booster shots as soon as your opportunity comes up. | |
| Please have a happy (and safe) New Year’s Eve! | |
