Friends, Romans, distinguished guests, I come not to bury 2020 but acknowledge that 2021 is going to be a tough year itself. That being said, boy oh boy am I not glad to see that last year go by in the rear-view mirror. (BTW, don’t let the classy paraphrased Shakespeare quote fool you, I just spent way too much brain energy on pointless memorization exercises in school.)
I’m also not going to make any new resolutions, as I’m still working on a lot of the old ones. As well as dealing with the same generally crazy situation as most of you out there. That being said, if you (the hypothetical Reader) have a destination or goal in mind for your year, you go ahead and make that resolution. Even if it’s something as simple as “getting excited about going to a restaurant again.”
I don’t think I’ll touch the Xmas tree until around about the 5th, or whenever I decide that the previous year has been saluted enough. The upside of having an artificial tree is that they tend not to rot whenever you tend not to get around to taking it down until… later in the year (I’m both proud and not-proud of my personal record, which I might disclose at some point down the line.)
Anyway, I mainly posted to salute the year to come, because I do think that it’s important to hold on to some form of routine. Here’s to a better 2021, everybody. Stay safe!
