‘I can hardly believe it’s about to be 2020!’

That’s what everyone is saying. I suppose it feels like a big number. Certainly it’s one of those futuristic-sounding dates from the sci-fi we used to watch and read years ago. Someone in my family said ‘We’re back to the 20s.’

Will they be the roaring twenties? Flappers from one hundred years ago may have been delirious with excitement at the arrival of peace and the relief that gave to countries around the world.

Let’s hope 2020 will be a year of peace, happiness, compassion, generosity, givingness and mutual care and support.

Have a lovely New Year, everyone, and I hope you and your families thrive in 2020.
