When I awoke on New Year's Day last year on January 1, 2021, I confess that my mood was not one of rejoicing and hope. I normally take time on New Year's Day to review my thoughts and goals from the previous New Year's Day, but my heart was not in it that morning. I didn't have the emotional energy to think about what my goals were for the year 2020, or to deal with new plans and goals for the year 2021. After spending most of the day reading, and spending time with the family, I finally pulled out my journal and reviewed what I had written on January 1, 2020, and I came to find that I actually had accomplished quite a few of my goals for the year 2020. I was pleasantly surprised at the number of things I was able to accomplish in that crazy year in spite of the challenges of a world wide pandemic, earthquakes and other natural disasters, social distancing, closing of churches and temples, a very volatile political year here in the US, and my own many inadequacies. I felt confident enough to make some simple plans and chose HANG ON!
