So, what can we say about 2020? The year that not only needs to be over, but soon forgotten. There's always good to be found in almost everything, but 2020 is certainly over shadowed by so many negatives. One bright spot for me was Halloween. One of my favorite times of the year. Decorations started going up in mid September, so there were six weeks of Halloween enjoyment, a welcome distraction from the wows of 2020. Made even more tolerable if you stayed away from the news media.
Now, today is October 31st... Halloween. A mixture of all the good feelings and decorations, movies & posts... but an anti-climatic end. No party, no costumes, no trick or treating. And tomorrow, the decorations will be taken down put away. Add to this, the weather has turned chilly during the day, cold at night, and the gloom of clouds and rain... well, not a very cheery outlook. Now stuck indoors, cold, wet, damp, and less sunlight. Throw in self isolation due to Covid... well, very much looking forward to next spring. Meanwhile... months of too much nothingness.
Optimistically smiling to myself.
