Reading list 2020
Twenty-Twenty! W-H-A-T A Y-E-A-R!!!
To say that this was a challenging year is an understatement. I don’t think I’ve ever been more happy and thrilled for a year to have gone by, or more excited and hopeful for a new year to commence.
I know that this was an extremely difficult, hard, long, painful, scary, sad, devastating and deadly year for so many, here in the US and around the world. I wish I could take some of this darkness away.
Compared to the challenges and sacrifices that so many others had to face and overcome - this year for me and my family was but a small inconvenience. I’m grateful to have a job, a house, food, my health and that of my family, family members and good friends still with us, and the opportunity to wake up tomorrow with a sense of hope and ready to live another day.
Let’s work to make 2021 a better year for all of us around the world. More calm, mindful and peaceful. Loving and caring. Respectful and welcoming. Accepted and accepting. More united.
