By Susan Dahl. December is a time when most of


us look back on what the year has been for us – prosperous, challenging, tough, or rewarding. Or even maybe, a bit of everything. The end of this year 2021 marks


the end of 18 months of the “experts” telling us that 7 months to “flatten the curve” of this corona-thing and yet here we are with another “variant” and an- other booster. But they don’t seem to be working. I have friends whose friends or family are very sick. My heart goes out to those people. I think I’ll call my brother now. Please wait. Ok.I’m back. This holiday season


is certainly a time to stay close to our loved ones. My brother broke his ankle a short time ago and with it being the


events that trigger us to remember certain dates? This past year will mark the time that I sold my young horse and decided not to train any more horses (as far as I know). Not in this lifetime anyway. I also have 3 senior dogs whom


I’m looking after closely. One is very frail and I have to help him con- stantly. He’s 17.5 years old. I’ve never had a dog that old before. An- other labour of love. It’s these times when major


events happen in our life that we see the human resiliency working at it’s best. We hum=humans are tough. We’ll get through anything including the pandemic. Please stay strong for yourself and your loved ones. We are here for you. So, Happy Winter Solstice


Everyone. Happy Holidays. I raise a glass of eggnog to you and your 2- legged and 4-legged families this wintertime season. Take care.

into the Director of Operations role,” said Executive Director Andria Gib- bon, CEM. “Throughout the plan- ning of the 2021 event, it was evident that Corey’s passion for logistics and operations, combined with his years of experience at NATDA, would make him an ideal fit for this posi- tion.
