Reflections on 2020
I call it the year that never happened. I retired in December of 2019 and figured I would just relax and enjoys the holidays which I did. All the plans I had made for said retirement went out the window.
I decided to quit smoking, then the virus hit and that never happened. I smoke more then ever ! I don't drink or do drugs and it keeps my nerves and anxiety levels down so I am not going to feel bad about it ! Lol.
My four month trip to England and beyond.. cancelled.
My mid summer trip to Prince Edward Island.. cancelled.
I have learned how to get in and out of a store in record time, rarely forgetting anything.. but still I hate it, I like to doddle !
Talking to people six feet away wearing a mask.. YOUR GOING TO HAVE TO SPEAK UP !
My mother passing away, she had a wonderful life and I look at it as a blessing that she does not have to go though this shit anymore. None of us should. The government is loving having control. Too bad THEY don't follow the rules. Rules for thee, but not for me. If I'm not going, neither are you ! Lucky for me I like my solitude and enjoy my own company so It worked for me being in lock down.
I have gone through every emotion, anxiety, fear, depression, sometimes all at once ! So, on this last day of 2020 I am thinking I made it and I am grateful for my family and friends and we have seen each other through this and we will keep calm and carry on !
Your thoughts on this year?
Do not regret growing older it is a privilege denied to many
