Embarking into a new year and a new decade, treading forward into 2021, ‘Hope’ is the word that stands out !!
After an unprecedented year in 2020 with the covid19 pandemic crippling the entire planet, families and friends isolated from each other, loss of lives, and pandemic induced economic and social distress, loss of normal life as we knew it, renewed hope for better times seems like good anchor.
Human limits have been tested to its brink. Tenacity, compassion and sacrifices from front line healthcare workers all over the world, development of covid19 vaccines within an year by scientists working round the clock, no small scientific feat, and every individual in essential services working to keep their organizations and society running through this tumultuous year are just few stellar examples of how we’ve pulled together as a planet. However, isolation, fear and exhaustion have taken their toll on our well being.
Renewed hope to reconnect, hope to meet our family and friends, hope to be able to venture out feeling safe, hope to see smiles and shake hands, feel the warmth and assurance of hugs from loved ones, hope to travel and reunite with loved ones, and a hope for better times is light at the end of this tunnel, as we are embarking into 2021.
Toast to good health, well being, and a wish for more of whatever brings each one of us joy and peace, as we embark into the new year and new decade, with renewed hope !!
