There has been so much in the news over the past few days "summarizing" 2020 and our COVID -19 year. It is pretty amazing when you quickly see one event/warning/cancellation after another and realize just how quickly our whole world changed and how not-normal this has all been. And the deaths.....so many loved ones gone due to this pandemic. Dave and I count ourselves lucky that our little family dodged this bullet and he and I are fully vaccinated now. We feel such a sense of "relief" that at least we reached this milestone and now wait for our friends and family members to be able to roll up their sleeves.
I woke up at about 4:00 in the morning today.....a dream disturbed my sleep cycle. I can't remember any of it except for a quote running through my brain. I can't figure out if it was part of the dream or where I might have heard it.
"We all know that hate can win, but people still open their doors and let it in."
Where on earth did that come from? Is it part of the dream that woke me? Is it an interior comment on some of what's gone on over the past year and some of what is causing unrest, division and sadness still?
I'm not naive enough to think that 2021 will suddenly be a love-your-neighbor-year, but I do hope that it will prove to be more positive and peaceful than our recent past.....for the whole world.
At this point the stupid quote is an ear-worm that I can't seem to get out of my brain. Maybe I'll go take a nap.
