Last year on this day I wrote a blog that I titled 20/20 VISION. I was wondering back then if it would be possible for everyone to have clear vision in the upcoming year. I cited the words of the Johnny Nash song “I Can See Clearly Now”. Well, the whole world turned upside down this year. No one was seeing anything clearly. Too bad Johnny Nash is no longer with us to write another feel good song.

I am sure for most of us this year has been a blur. Many days have just blended together. When asked what day it is you can answer “It’s Blursday”. When I first heard this I thought, that is perfect! It does not seem like a rear view mirror could properly downsize all of the horror of this year. Nothing could possibly be worse than what I’ve gone through and what I am still going through. Taking everything into account I’ve decided that I, as well as everyone else, needs to keep moving forward. I can move forward with less fear and less worry because I have already lost so much. Is it possible to be positive? Is the human spirit strong enough?

We have to keep planning. Yes, “the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry”. But we need to keep planning. If it goes in a different direction perhaps it can lead to something good for you. When in doubt, PLAN. Someone calls and says, do you want to go to the park? My mind says, “No thanks”, but out of my mouth comes “What time”? My subconscious is telling me to PLAN.

We all need a season of adventure. I know this is what my husband would want me to be thinking about after the last 9 months and I am really trying.

Here we are almost at 2021. I wish you all a blessed New Year. I wish for happiness and good health for you and the planet Earth. And as I say every year at this time, I hope that each day surprises you with something wonderful. Stay well.
