Happy 2020!
Thanx and a hat's tip to Barbara Walters for a meme that starts the new year out right!
So, is this a new decade or not? I guess the new decade technically doesn't start until 2021, but technicalities don't always rule the day.
It feels like a new decade. If I say the twenties, thinking to last century, I instinctively put 1920 into it. So, yeah, maybe 2020 isn't the start of this century's twenties, but...nah, it feels like it, true or not.
No personal goals here. I just want to enjoy life and my family to the fullest. I'll just do the things I love; stay active, be caring, inevitably stress about things I can't control, consume and participate in my great passion - storytelling.
There are things that I pray will emerge in this new decade - true universal health care, a Green New Deal, a higher minimum wage, greater unionization, and, of course, we all know what the super biggie is - the end of the Trump Presidency. Whether by conviction, resignation, or voted out, somehow, our national nightmare has to come to a conclusion.
Of course, there are many pitfalls to the decade as well. Many negative trends need to be reversed, first and foremost, global warming. I know there are many reasons to be pessimistic, but as this decade begins, I would like to concentrate on hope.
Best wishes to you and your family as we embark on the journey through a new decade!
