I am pretty sure we all feel the same about this… Good Riddance to 2020!!!

Never in all my years have I ever gone through anything like this. And I’m sure you haven’t either. But I would like to put a positive spin on this blog. Even if you don’t agree with me totally, I am going to put this out there for us to ponder.

Let’s think about 2021 and all the great things to look forward to.

I am going to try to think positively and hopefully everyone else will as well. We’ll have a vaccine for this horrible virus (fingers crossed) so let’s wipe this thing out. Let’s begin to eat out again and support all our small, local companies and restaurants that are still with us and help them out. Let’s travel. Take the vacations that were put off. Book them and get out and see this wonderful and beautiful world we live in.

How about all the relatives we need to go visit that have missed our faces/hugs that have been so needed for over a year? Book those trips, see those relatives and give those great big hugs. If you have the opportunity to get back into the office, you should do so. Being around people and your friends is a good thing.

Let’s all look forward to:

Going to a movie in a theater without a mask
Attending a concert in person (and also no mask)
Sitting with your best friends and go do whatever you want, go out to eat, shopping… just hang out and no masks.

Then think of all the events like the Olympics, football and baseball games you will be able to do once again. They may not look the same, but I truly believe we’ll get going once again.

I believe that as we look beyond 2020 and the coronavirus, there are things that will make 2021 a better year. A couple of things we know for sure going into the new year is that we know how to test for and treat the virus. Think of all the anti-viral remedies that are out there for other types of viruses that we’ve been successful with. I have complete confidence in this one.
