There is no doubt about it ~ 2020 has been a trying year.
While normally the holidays and coming new year would find us filled with hope and optimism, this time this mind set may be difficult to achieve.
What started out as the dawn of a brand new century quickly morphed into something much different.
News of the effects of the coronavirus circled around the world and soon cases began to crop up in the U.S. We were suddenly faced with fighting the virus, business and school closures, and all our lives were quickly changed in ways never thought possible.
People were getting sick. Many were out of work. And for some that still had jobs, working from home became the new norm.
For those that were on the front lines, life became incredibly hectic and sometimes downright scary. Health care workers were, and continue to be, on high alert and overworked. Schools had to suddenly switch gears to try and educate their students. Essential workers such as truckers, delivery services, and store workers did all they could to keep the country fed, clothed, and stocked.
But for many small businesses and their employees, things became, and continue to be dire. Drastic cuts in foot traffic and in-person customers crippled their bottom line. While some were able to pivot enough to keep money coming in, others had more trouble.
For these businesses, and for all who have faced tragedy and struggles, we can only wish that hope is on the horizon.
And that is what the end of one year and the beginning of a new brings ~ Hope!
Even if it is hard, feeling hope is what drives us as human beings to hang in there another day. It is what keeps us moving forward, despite obstacles that get in our way.
And we have faith that better days are on the horizon!
So, on that note we are signing off from our blog and spending the remaining days of 2020 focused on family, friends, and faith! For this holiday season, and all the days to come, we wish you all Peace, Joy, and Love!
Happy Holidays….and we will be back in the New Year!
