As I look back I had wondered if we would be here on NYE. I am. You are.

The pandemic rages on and it has  mutated and mutilated but it is manageable.

So to life! I have noticed different shades and nuances from my chair that I casually walked by unaware.

Births,deaths,challenges and celebrations. Will we ever look at them through non-virus eyes? Even my dreams are six foot socially distant.

The first months of the year seem like a book I read but didn’t finish. I recall obligations and rituals that seem outdated.

An emotional year as the need to socialize was offset that you might contract or spread a virus.

I’m grateful for my masks. Some are whimsical. Some just functional.

I’m grateful that my family is abiding by the rules.

Hindsight is 2020. As hindsight becomes foresight God bless us everyone!
