As we have done the past seven years, we invite you to read our #NewYearsDay 2022 #ThankYou blog post in which we thank the many people and organizations that had a positive impact on our lives in 2021. This is our annual greeting as we end 2021 to all who read our blog, wishing you all the best as we begin a new year full of possibilities!
Our immediate family has been very fortunate in these past two difficult years, to be healthy and able to adjust to the lifestyle changes caused by the coronavirus crisis. Our thoughts are with those who have been ill or who have lost loved ones to COVID-19.
sosAssociates.com Blog Posts 2021
2021 was our ninth year of blogging. We recognized how different the times are now in our post entitled:
- Blog Date: March 8, 2021 - sosAssociates.com Blogiversary: Nine -- In the year of Social Distancing!
The years of 2020 (after mid-March) and 2021 (so far), make this a drastically different blogiversary than any other. This is reflected in the nature of how our blog posts changed one year ago, right after our sosAssociates.com Blogiversary: Eight! post, when we starting writing our Social Distancing blog post series.
While our world is so different on this ninth anniversary, I do want to express how grateful I am to have the community resources and family support to ride out these times.
As the year progressed in 2021, we were glad to finally stop writing our Social Distancing blog post series. but of course we are currently concerned about how the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact our community. We are also back to very strict social distancing protocols, which we started following again in mid-December 2021.
Please take a moment and scroll across the images/links below from our ninth year, and click to read some of our 17 blog posts:

At 12:00 midnight New Year's Eve, we sent out an email to family members with a link to our 22nd annual family holiday web page. This is a family tradition through which we not only share our activities for the year, but it also becomes a record of our family history.

@CDNST1 @NationalForests, not my earworm, but still a very good that list includes “I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles)” by The Proclaimers. https://t.co/vlFdSoEelk

@CDNST1, I had to cancel my CDT trip in 2020 and 2021. I am now looking forward to hiking 500+ miles on the Continental Divide Trail in a future year.https://t.co/u61DTQVw3p

FYI, last night I was looking at web pages of Jonathan Ley's CDT maps https://t.co/H4YZACaOlE & Experience https://t.co/gwmmOVuH3q
I had done a lot of reading about CDT for 2020, so reviewing again
He is real indeed! I met Stuart and his lovely wife several years ago at the Western Reserve Historical Society! I recognized him immediately! He is truly our man about town!

FYI, my wife, Julie, volunteers as a ride attendant at the restored #EuclidBeachPark Grand #Carousel at the Western Reserve Historical Society @CleStartsHere, so she is often at this #museum in @InTheCircle. https://t.co/0RbHtgceNF https://t.co/fcsWT0TExH
That's wonderful! I'll try to take a swing down there some time and meet her if I dont see you both Sunday. I agree, Stuart is the man about town and I love learning from him.
