Expectation
Reality
I made it a point to be in bed by midnight on the last day of 2020. I had a lot to be thankful for this year (even if I took much of it for granted) but couldn't bring myself to wish people a happy new year because it wasn't really for many of them.
However, there is a reason everyone is talking about hope at the beginning of this year. It is one of those things that if we didn't remind ourselves of, we would find ourselves in a much bleaker position. So, whether you had stepped into the new year fabulously like the Swell Shark (they apparently glow in the dark!) or decided to sleep through it, I hope this year has wonderful moments. I also hope that you will remember the good things about the year that is now past.
