Hey, @bashadow.
Merry Christmas to you and yours.
You are right. There are at least a few good things (if not more) to remember from this year as well as all the bad, and dwelling on or recognizing only the latter isn't going to make it go away or any better. If there's action to take, take it. Otherwise, moving on is probably the best thing to do.
Congratulations on perfecting the soup. Somethings take decades, and yet don't quite get there. :)
I really had a lot of fun trying different things to get the soup right and good tasting. Bad stuff happens some needs to be remembered, but it is more important to remember the good times, at least I think so.
Agreed. More times than not, I believe, that's what the majority of us do—remember the good over the bad. Humans seem to have the ability to forget, for good or ill. In the end, at some point, this too shall pass. The only constant is change.
