We were going through a rough patch it seemed. Steve had the radiator cap blow off and sprayed him – severe burns. We had just recently discovered our “dream” house had no insulation in the walls or ceiling – no easy fix available. My dad had a major stroke and passed away after 3 weeks in the hospital – my universe crumbled.
Sometimes when we look back it feels like years are marked by bad stuff and some by good. This year many of us had a collective bad year. Now is the time to focus on our good stuff for this year.
That is a rough stretch. Here’s to better times ahead!

That does not sound like a good time – yikes! Sorry for your loss. You got a lot into 99 words. The image of the calendar crossed out seemed appropriate. Hope it is only good stuff from now on!!!

Thanks. I hope many of us with a bit of distance are able to focus on the good that comes in the year as well.

Kathy, I saw your link at ShiftnShake. I need to redirect you to Carrot Ranch though for your contribution. https://carrotranch.com/2021/03/19/march-18-flash-fiction-challenge-2/
You can put your flash in the form there today for publication there tomorrow.
That was an unforgettably bad year you described. And yes, all we can do is remember and focus on the good stuff.
