Joining the Cancel Culture

According to The Cambridge Dictionary, Cancel Culture is a way of behaving in a society or group, especially on social media, in which it is common to completely reject and stop supporting someone because they have said or done something that offends you.

Okay, so no one specifically has said or done something that offends me; However, I do believe that it’s time to cancel something: winter! 

“You can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep Spring from coming.” — Pablo Neruda

A year ago at this time we were just coming to grips with the reality of COVID-19.  Obviously, no one could predict the historic craziness that became 2020.  It was like a comment Suzanne and I overheard at a dinner the other night from someone up at the bar, “That shit comes with a dark cloud!” (I don’t have a clue what he was referring to; I just liked the line).   

Now, days are longer.
Nights are warmer.
Spring is coming.

“In the spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt.”  — Margaret Atwood

Time to hit the delete button on winter, log off, log on to spring, and smell like dirt!

Carpe diem Life,
