No New Year's Resolution For Me

 I have decided to not do a New Year's resolution this year.  I use to do one every year and about two weeks in I would fail.  Why should I start my year out by failing in two weeks.  So, no New Year's resolution for me.  I will set some goals and hopefully achieve some but I think after the year we just completed it is time to just reflect on what is happening and what most of last year was about.  

We are still deep in the COVID stuff but the vaccine is getting distributed to several people now. In my state it is going to health care workers, first responders and people 65 yrs or older.  It was suppose to go to essential workers but a lot of those are in no danger of getting COVID.  Let's keep our elderly safe.  When the vaccine opens up for us all I will be getting the shot.  I am not afraid of it and if I can put COVID to the side for a while it will be so worth it.  

2020 was a different year.  It is the year almost everything came to a holt.  The world was almost shut down.  Many states are still in lockdown but it doesn't seem to be helping because their numbers are worse than ours and we are open.  Is the herd mentality working?  No, not yet but we are given the chance to try.  Our children and teachers have been doing well without massive outbreaks of COVID now that the schools have been open since August.  Amusement Parks and sporting events are going following CDC guidelines without any major issues. 

Here we are in 2021 and nothing has changed that much except the vaccine is being distributed.  I do feel that within the next few months we will begin to get back to normal just not the same normal as it was before COVID.  It will be the "new" normal but at least we will be some what normal.  So, 2021 may be a good year or it may follow in 2020's footsteps.  Only time will tell but one thing is for sure; I am going to continue to live my life and try to get back to as normal as I can have it right now.
