Have You Taken a Good Look at Your Wall Calendar Lately?
No. I don't mean to point out that all those appointments, parties, book club meetings, dance parties (BOY-HOWDY has it been a loooonnnnnnng time since my last one!), and coffee-klatch get togethers are blindingly MISSING!!! No, we've pretty much all felt the lack of social activities--or at least the option of indulging in such--for quite long enough to find no revelation in looking at those empty white boxes lined up so neatly under the big, pretty photo of the Minnesota State Fair mascots or lovely birds or mountain vistas.
No.
I am talking about finding that particular empty box on the page that corresponds with Today. Whatever "Today" you may be reading this. (Thanks for reading my mental wanderings.) Now ... run your pointy little index finger across the page to the LAST box that contains a printed number. You know. . . the last day of the month. The last day of the year. THE LAST DAY OF THE YEAR!!! DID YOU GET THAT? THE LAST DAY OF THE YEAR (THE YEAR 2020) IS ONLY 2 WEEKS AWAY FROM TONIGHT!!! And then we'll enter that marvelous Time when all the bad things we've suffered through &/or with during 2020 will begin to improve, to get better, to GO AWAY!!!!
SHHHHHhhhhhhh .... Do NOT spoil my dream. Do NOT be mean. You won't like me after you've been mean to me. Really.
So, anyway...hang in there, my friends. 2021 is coming within a couple of weeks. "Things" WILL get better. Hey! It's already been set up: Biden & Harris, 2-count'em-2 vaccines, snow storms skipping right over us here in the Midwest (okay, that one's not too fair to the folks in the Northeast; but they think we're just fly-over wasteland so there), and the US Senate actually has a chance of getting more balanced, politically speaking!
I herewith declare that 2021 will NOT be a total pile of crap!
Are you with me?
Yaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyy!!!!! Hurrah! Yippee-kai-yay! (Hurry and join in, will ya! I'm trying to help set up 2021's Can-do Attitude here. Maybe a little Help?)
