We are already a-month-and-a-half into the new year. This is about the time when many resolutions for the year have already bitten the dust, and we are wondering why we ever thought we could ever do......."that". Though we use the 2020 designation for this year, other counties or ethnic groups use other numerical designations; MMXX, 2773, 1469, 6770, 176-177, 1941-1942, 1427, 2970, 2564, 1382, 7528-7529, 1736-1737, 3186, 1577836800-1609459199, and a host of others.
No matter what we call it, it is time which has never "passed this way" before and while we will have leap year, a U.S. Presidential election, the Summer Olympics in Japan, the once-a-decade Passion Play in Oberammergau, Germany and literally thousands of other scheduled events, we never know for sure what is in store for us this year. New products, new medicines, new viruses, new scams, new fads, new theories about everything, meatless meat, new movies, new books, new aches and pains.........new.............but still with the "same old stuff" thrown in.
Ultimately, it's up to each one of us, individually, how we balance the old and the new, how we adapt to the routine or the changes and how this year will "treat us". Half full or half empty is up to us. Let's be resolved to make this year a blessed and joyous one for us and all those around us.
