Friday JohnKu – AKA – A Brand New Year

~ John W. Howell

 

“Happy New Year, Twiggy.”
“Gee Lucy. It doesn’t seem much different out here.”
“But it is a New Year.”
“That’s true. Happy New Year, Lucy.”

 

Well, here it is at last. The new year with all the hope that the crap from 2020 has been wrung out of our collective crying towel.

Yeah, it feels good to have a new slate. We have to remember that change is not a matter of flipping the calendar. It will take time to ease into what I hope will be the NEW NORMAL. You know where we can all move around without fear. Where we stop calling each other names. Where the radical left and right just go away. Where world peace becomes a priority. Where we can think and plan on the future. Where Congress pulls its collective head out of the place where the sun don’t shine. Where people are viewed as individuals and not generalities. Where opportunity is available to all, who are willing to invest to reach their dreams.

Well, it’s a tall bit of expectation for the new normal. If you share the ideal, I hope you will work to make it happen. Happy New Year

Today’s JohnKu talks about the new year. I hope you all have a great weekend.

It’s not just champagne,

Nor blowing horns with gusto . . .

The New Year is change.

  2. You’re right, John. The promise of change looms large, but we have plenty of work to do, too. Here’s hoping we can all embrace a new chapter together. I’m over all the ugliness… Here’s to a new chapter! Happy New Year!

  19. Perfectly said, John. No, it’s not simply a flip of the page to bring on the new. We have lots of work to do. But it always feels hopeful, doesn’t it?
    Happy New Year to you and all of yours! xoxo

  29. You truly speak the truth, John. I don’t think life will return to the way it was, but I do hope for the new normal you mentioned, one that we can live through without fear. A very tall order, but worth praying and hoping for. Happy 2021!
