Kicking 2020 to the curb

 While the new year isn't going to be happy for a while, at least it's a new chapter in this dismal world we currently live in. Maybe by summer things will be on the upswing, maybe not. Most everyone is still holding their collective breaths, waiting for the change in leadership, waiting for a protocol for Covid vaccinations, waiting for anything that will lead to a positive outcome. We wait for the current POTUS to either drop dead (I wish) or step out of the way, wait for the elections in Georgia, wait for resolution of continued benefits for unemployed, wait for so much to happen.

There is no point reliving the terror and depression of 2020. There is little point in even saying "Happy New Year" because it is still far from happy.  I keep thinking of the last lines in "The Great Gatsby:" And so we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.

Not that we are being carried to the past, but we certainly aren't swimming in the future either.  

Patience. It's all we can foster right now, patience and hope.
