If you are at all like me, try not to be discouraged. There is a light at the end of this tunnel.
2020 was an immensely tough year for so many people and we still have some battles to win, but I am grateful we can inspire each other.
Resilience will be telling. Resilience has been telling. How nice it will be to also get back to traveling in the safest ways. Perhaps Spring and/or Summer will be reminiscent of their past seasons. For me, this will mean getting to see more family and friends in the States and seeing some old and new places abroad as well, while revisiting and meeting more people.
Volunteering locally is on the agenda again.
I do not know that I can always wake up inspired, although my attitude is generally optimistic while expecting challenges.
Here, at least for the moment, I am going to push my momentum forward and on the days where the challenges are huge (as they have especially been for many of us), my past momentum will remind me to push or keep my focus in some small but useful ways.
I am excited to get back to some normalcy minus the normalcy which is status quo, not enough, or not okay.
We can be appreciative of what brought us success and measure what can bring us improvement. We can be grateful for who and what we have in our lives. Thank goodness for progress and doing some things a little differently.
Cheers to moving about the world again – soon I hope and moving forward. Plus, it does not hurt, btw, that today was brilliant. Chévere. Birthday Number… More to come!
