If you could fast forward a year, what would you want to know about 2022?

Will republicans and democratic politicians ever stop fighting for their party and work for the people of this country will they ever stop opposing bills just to hurt the other side and help the people they are expected to represent

I'd like to know that we rallied to make 2022 an incredible year despite the continued challenges. Covid seemingly will continue for several more months and possibly longer. Without being negative, it's an educated guess from historical knowledge as well as several authoritative viewpoints.

It would be great to know that we started working together like the old-time farmers that would band together to rebuild a barn that burned down or a home that was destroyed from a tornado. The current version would look like me watching your kids so you could put in a little extra overtime to make up for the lost wages from the last couple years or making a few extra plates of food and sharing that with our challenged neighbors. So, it almost doesn't matter what happens if we would start to look out for each other to ensure that we all make it out of this challenging time.

In keeping with "walking my talk", I volunteered on Thanksgiving Day to provide turkeys to less fortunate, and a week before Christmas we went to help children of an incarcerated parent receive gifts and surround them in a supportive and fun environment. I took a friend's child to a hospital urgent care because it was needed before her shift ended. (unfortunately, I caught a cold from the 2-hour wait but glad to help.)

In 2022, I will be volunteering monthly rather than seasonally to help in whatever small way I can. In this scenario, it does not matter what the future holds because when we jump in to help others no matter how small the effort, it goes a long way for that family that has the need. And as we found in the last 22 months, there, but the grace of God go I.

I will like to be able to go visit my daughter to make sure she is truly doing well; not just telling me that she is so that I will not worry about her. I will also take the time to go and visit my mother I have not seen in years due to traveling with or without masks and different strains of COVID-19 that prevents some travel.

I would want to know my family are healthy and safe. As well as get back on track to lose weight and get back to better health for myself.

I would want to know if the pandemic were over and if not, how much longer it was expected to last.

I would want to know the blockages in place that would hinder veteran progress. Housing, Education, Transition, Healthcare to be able to know what could be done now to remove them.. sort of a foresight. How many veterans would be homeless, how May housing opportunities would be available, etc..

From our Congress down to individuals, this Nation seems very divided and I am hoping that change and example can be found starting at the very top - Will the Congress come together and support the January 6th investigation and follow-on - Set aside "blame" and find a story to help Unite the Country in a better future.... I wonder`

I’d want to know if we as a nation ever came together to build a better U.S… A nation where we accept all people, breakdown wrongful social norms and work together.

I'd like to see that the world would calm down a bit and we could get back to normal. I'd like to know that this everchanging world would be emersed in gratitude and empathy. i'd like to see more comradery amongst all races.

Outcome of senate and or house rep. elections!
