Today is the LAST day of 2020. This has been a somewhat horrendous year to live through. The country was struck with a deadly pandemic that has taken about 340,000 lives....no thanks to the incompetence of the political leadership of the country. Celebrities and citizens alike have lost their lives, and ordinary citizens have lost their livelihoods, and even their homes/place of residence. Others have lost their business(es), as well. Not to mention, the rash of racial shootings by the police across the country, and many of the street protests, as well as the riots/rebellions that followed them. Bigotry had shown its ugly face within the presidency, the general populous, and many of the political leaders too afraid to stand up to the (so-called) leader of the country.
Yeah....a lot of people are glad to see this year come to an end. Who can blame them?
I lost my own job in this mess, even though I did get to release TWO books this year, to celebrate my Ten Year anniversary as a published author. My lack of sales left A LOT to be desired, but that's pretty usual for me, since most people would rather press a 'like' button, than to actually buy/download my books. But, I digress...
Farewell to 2020. It was a tumultuous year for one and all. If you made it through it, let's hear it for those of us who survived. Let us continue persevering, and trying to maintain our sanity, and move forward. Do what you can, and need to do, to deal with the trauma of this year. Hopefully, 2021 will be full of better days.
Oh yeah...Happy Kwanzaa!! Habari gani...? Kuumba!!!
Keep the fist raised.
