Ten Years From Now

 

I have skirted around the subject that is on all our minds!  2020 and all the year represents.  However, today I write about my prediction (for me) for ten years from now.  As a way to say, this year is no different than any other year when there have been challenges.  At least, for me.  I can look back and see other years that were worse for me. 

Wearing a mask, isolating, having groceries delivered, and even little or no contact with my family (which is the worst) have not been the challenges I faced before.  I bet that most of you have had a worse time in your life than in 2020.  That is if you analyze what actual horrible years are.  There are far worse things than wearing a mask, toilet paper shortages, and isolation. 

So, I challenge you to feel gratitude for what you have now and project what you will have experienced and accomplished in 10 years.  Then make better choices for your attitude about your life right now in 2020.

I see wearing a mask, isolating, little or no contact with family as a way for me to reach that goal of “In Ten Years.” Live your remaining year of 2020 with grace and love and new hope for the next ten years. Rejoice in accomplishments, create innovative ways to communicate with loved ones, and bring your light into the world for others to see.

 

Twenty-Thirty

 

In ten years:

I will be 80.

I will have learned so much more.

I will have had ten years more joy.

I will have rejoiced in all the accomplishments.

I will have cheered for all the critical milestones.

I will have forged through

more downs, but even more ups.

I will look back at 2020 and smile,

and say:

You did it with love and grace!.
