This year has been an extremely challenging one for me. I don’t know if I have ever worked so tough or faced so many obstacles within one phase of time, every time I turned around something current was going wrong in 2021. This is why I have been extremely reflective on the highs & lows of the past weeks, then one of the things that keeps coming to mind is the fact that this past year could have been worse if my financial situation hadn’t been so stable. Actually, there were times earlier in my life when I was too awful to even use my heating, cooling, & air quality control system. I keep thinking back to my university days when I could not afford to use my a/c or my rudimentary heating unit. I lived in an apartment that was extremely inefficient when it came to the heating, cooling, & air quality control options. Whenever I wanted to use my a/c I had to make sure that I was going to rest directly in front of the cooling unit so I could absorb any of the air conditioned air before it dissipated in the poorly insulated home. Things were not much better when it came to the overpriced furnace. If I wanted to use the heat I had better make sure that I insulated the house as much as possible. It was constantly drafty & uneven. My energy bills were constantly through the roof. And I could not afford a better heating, cooling, & air quality control system to service the problem. I also could not afford to move to a more energy-efficient apartment. At least I had heat & AC in 2021, & that’s something to be grateful for.
