I have entered the new year with enthusiasm and joy for the upcoming year. A new grandbaby in May is the highlight of the year so far, and it’s only the first day! I cannot wait to shower my new grandbaby with all my love!

I am also anticipating a return to travel. I have spent the better part of this afternoon working on my “map”. My landlady (and also friend!) gave me this amazing map for Christmas and I longingly looked at it and filled out the countries I’ve been to and anticipating visiting in the upcoming year(s). I hope 2021 will restart the traveling but if not, I will be patient.

I also have a feeling of peace. Peace in my mind, in my heart and for this world. My kids are in a good place in their lives, for the most part, and that makes my mind and heart at ease. I hope for peace to be had in the world. For there to be a slowing down of the pandemic, for people to see that there is a light at the end of this horrible tunnel we’ve been going through. I really feel positive that this is going to be a better year than 2020.

I also am determined this year to do some good! I want to do a fundraiser for a charity here in Canada, and while I have in mind what I want to do, the trick is to get in on to paper, and then in motion. I am determined to do it! I hopefully will have a blog soon to share the exciting plans I have!

I hope you all have a lovely New Year’s Eve and a New Year’s Day. Be safe!
