The sun is shining and it's a beautiful but very cold and frosty New Years Eve here in my neck of the woods and although its sunny I'm not in the least bit tempted to venture outside as the roads and pavements are treacherous with black ice hiding beneath the pretty frost covering.
I'm pleased as I'm sure most of you are that this year is coming to an end, what a year it's been, we have all been through a lot and I have to be honest it has been hard to keep my head above water at times. Although living alone doesn't bother me one little bit, in times like this it is hard as you don't have your usual social network of friends to keep you afloat and you can't see your family as much as you would like to.
Thank goodness then for our blogging community it has kept me sane, visiting your blogs and reading and seeing what everyone has been up to has been a valuable source of inspiration. Those of us who have the ability to craft in whatever medium or bury ourselves in a good book are lucky because we can switch off and immerse ourselves in our activity and feel all the better because of it.
I am determined to feel optimistic for 2021, I know many will die because of this virus before a vaccination can reach them, my heart goes out to all of those who have died and the many who have lost loved ones but thanks to the skill and the dedicated work of our brilliant scientists we do have our light at the end of the tunnel.
My thanks also goes to the health care professionals and front line workers who will be working flat out around the clock not only to treat those who are seriously ill with Covid but to deliver the vaccine as quickly as is humanly possible.
Wishing everyone a safe and much happier 2021
It's been a tough year all round but all we can do now is hope that there's light at the end of the tunnel with the vaccine. Wishing you all the very best for 2021 and here's hoping it's better than the year we've just had.
ReplyDeleteCheers to a better year in 2021. Have a happy new year Linda.
ReplyDeleteWell said Linda!! All I ask for the new year is that my family and friends which of course includes my blogfriends as well, continue to be safe and healthy. Happy New Year Linda xxx Amanda
ReplyDeleteIt has certainly been a hard year for everyone, especially those that have lost loved ones to this covid virus. Hoping that 2021 is a much better year in the fight against this pandemic. Optimistic is a very good word for the year, as we all need to find positive things to keep us moving forward.

ReplyDeleteBlog friendships have helped so much in the horrible year of 2020. Knowing we are all in it together, no matter where we live helps so much. Happy New Year Linda, stay safe.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a happy, healthy and peaceful 2021.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
2020 was a dreadful year but the one bright light was the lovely blogging community where we can visit one another, encouraging, uplifting and inspiring each other. I don't know how the doctors and nurses, all the healthcare workers have coped with all that they have done and still keep doing. They are all amazing. Let us hope that 2021 will begin to be kinder to us all. When the vaccine starts rolling out, hopefully Covid will be conquered. Keep well, Linda, and take care. I for one love to visit your lovely place to see what you are up to. Truly, all your woolly gorgeousness always amazes and inspires me.
ReplyDeleteDear Linda, have a good and healthy New Year!
ReplyDeleteHopefully this year will not be as disaster as the last.
But we are in good spirits and try to make the best of it.
