Written for: Writers' Pantry #51 - Year's End (Posted by Rosemary) "Hands up who’s glad to see the end of 2020! Hmmm, yes, that seems to be unanimous – at least in terms of large-scale things such as firestorms, pandemics, economic downturns, and volatile political events. Whew!" "For this final post of the year, feel free to link any piece of writing you care to, old or new, poetry or prose, just one each, and please keep prose to an upper limit of 369 words. The prompt will stay open for a week." Oh the joy of a new year waiting `round the bend. We smile, cast aside the horror that was 2020. We dare to hope. https://poetsandstorytellersunited.blogspot.com/

BRAVO! Indeed, we HOPE!

We must have hope, the alternative is unthinkable. I watched the 60 Minutes segment on Pfizer and the creation/manufacture of the vaccine, it helped tremendously to replenish my waning store of hope.

Yes, hope. Some great things did happen in 2020 though, let’s not forget, which I doubt we ever will!

Daring to hope is a good posture to take. After all, what do you have to lose? Merry Christmas!

Yes, we dare. The alternative is to be hopeless. We need to consider some of the good things that have come of this dreadful time — technology that has allowed us to keep in contact with others in new and exciting ways, a new appreciation of the important things in life, families growing closer and in some instances getting reacquainted.

I do like the idea of families getting reacquainted.

Please let us be more sensible than we have been in so many countries. The virus is to avoid not fought or ignored.

Where would we be without hope? Good riddance to 2020 (the last 4 to be honest).
Happy Holidays.
