My 21 for 2021

I was all over the place in 2021...but I made it through

"I swear you hit me like a vision...I, I, I wasnt expecting...But who am I to tell fate where it's supposed to go?...This is how it starts, lightning strikes the heart, it goes of like a gun, Brighter than the sun..."

from Brighter Than The Sun by Colbie Caillat

That sums up where I, through a simple twist of fate, unexpectedly found myself coming into 2021.  What followed was a year full of unimagined adventures, wrong turns, weird detours, bad decisions, risks taken, extreme highs, heartbreaking lows, lots of successes , some fails, new beginnings and final endings, a year that turned my world upside down but a.lso woke me up from a limbo that had lasted too many years.  

Music always works better than anything I can come up with so I spent some time putting this together.  If my 2021 had a soundtrack, this is what I imagine it would be.  21 songs for 2021.  It seems right.  Happy New Year all!
