“The train went off the track, and things went all 2020 from there!” The year that many believe will in time become a cliché term for something being in a state of chaos and disaster comes to an end in 11 hours.
I will be spending the evening and all day tomorrow reflecting on the year that has passed and setting goals for the year that will begin. My major focus 2021 will continue to be my boys and the job that I love. I will also be focusing on my health. I have used the pandemic and being at home all the time as an excuse to make unhealthy choices.
Of course, I want to focus on my writing too. I am starting a new blog series – “Finding Purpose”, and I am drafting a book in my head that I want to get down on paper. I am going to start my day with writing instead of chores. When I leave things to the end of the day, I am always to tired to get them done.
I am optimistic about the future; however, I fear that we all believe that we will wake up tomorrow and the chaos will be magically over. Of course, this is not the case. I hope that the difference between the new year and 2020 will be that we are prepared for life to not go as planned. Most woke up on January 1, 2020 believing that it was the first day of “their year”. I was among those. I will wake up January 1, 2021 with solid perspective and the confidence that I can adapt to whatever circumstances come my way in 2021.
Happy New Year to All.
