So, we've kicked 2020 to the curb. We're ready to forge ahead. I think of the first Star Wars movie, A New Hope. That's what we have for this year. Hope.
Hope for a cure for the pandemic of the century. Sure we have a vaccine, one we hope works. But what about a cure?
Hope for a better world. We in the U.S. have experienced a lot of rage and violence. We can't just hope for a better world, we have to work toward it to make it happen.
Hope for our children and grandchildren. They've been hit hard with the pandemic from not playing with their friends to how they go to school.
Hope that businesses will open/reopen and jobs will be plentiful again.
Hope that children will not go hungry or worry that their parents will lose their homes.
Hope.
My hope is that you have a Happy New Year, a better year.

A New Hope! Thanks for my new mantra for this year, Di! Putting side old baggage and moving ahead. Getting stronger, wiser, kinder. Putting away fears, grudges, and obstacles of the past to begin a new journey forward. Starting today and continuing on every day in 2021.
'Hope' is also my word for 2021, Diane! What a beautiful post! Happy New Year to all! xo
I love this! We all need to have hope but also to make the better way happen. Here's to a kinder, gentler, more understanding world.
Happy New Year!
A New Hope. Think I'll write that on a sticky and put on my computer, then when I get blue, I'll just read it. Happy New Year, everyone!
I'm so glad you all liked the new hope idea. Nancy you listed so many thoughts that I feel we all need to focus on. We must do what we can to share hope with others.
Here's to hope! Cheers!
Thank you for that focus, Diane. This new year is the year of hope and hope needs helpers. Let us begin.
Reading about the recent loss of lives because of covid makes it haard to have hope. We need to stay strong, wear masks and stay away from people.
Great post. You're right. Hope for a better world starts with us working together in our communities. I will not lose hope for tomorrow. Thank you for your inspiring words!
I second, third and fourth the vote for what you've said. Staying positive and hoping are the way to go forward.
