It has cast a long shadow across so many lives. I will leave it at that. Everyone has their story(ies) from the last 3,287 days that have comprised 2020.

I like most I think was looking forward to 2020. I had grand visions. Having lost my eye to cancer two years ago I was thinking the worst would be my bad eye jokes. But it appears 2020 had its mind on being a year of hindsight (Sorry). I can’t help but believe that talking heads among others will pontificate over this past year for years if not decades to come.

I am happy to turn the page on 2020 but the Welcome Mat on 2021 is not all rainbows and bunny rabbits. Aside from all our common concerns I have the distinct pleasure of a colonoscopy and one of my two annual MRI’s in January. As part of my preparation for my procedure I also get to take an COVID test. Yeah! I hope for a clean bill of health.

Things to look forward to. Our two daughters are getting married next year. Gina & Stephen in Septmeber and Nicole & Dwight in November. Both girls have great guys but we would expect nothing less from them. Nicole and Dwight were scheduled to get married on 10/10/20 but like many things for many people was delayed. Apparently it was the most popular wedding date for 2020. Mela and I feel twice blessed (but do need to help a lot more people buy and sell homes).

We will also begin the much needed remodel of our kitchen in early January. (Maybe my timing isn’t so bad for the colonoscopy). We have the plans and are excited for the finished project which should be in May. We are open to meal invites. Just sayin’.

Almost forgot. Still hate cancer. Still miss my eye.

In closing, may everyone have a very Happy, Safe and Prosperous New Year!

Be Kind. Be Humble. Be Strong. God Bless!
