End

 

     This will be the last blog post for 2020.  Many of you may be feeling like I have and thought that this year, 2020, would never come to any end.  But within a few more days that event will be taking place!

      In looking back over the year there are many things that we could consider.  It can’t be said enough about the hundreds of thousands that have lost their lives due to the corona virus.  Our hearts have to go out to the families and friends of all those who also contracted the virus, but fortunately have recovered. 

 

     The devastation, loss of lives, drop in the economy, all these and more have been circumstances that have thrown many human lives into a deep pit of despair.  Many people not only loosing their jobs, but also having to deal with the major after effects of such an event: unable to pay their rent and mortgage, caring for the needs of their families, putting food on the table, and many other things!  Anyone with an ounce of compassion has great regrets for those in those circumstances.

 

     With all the isolation and medical cautions during the majority of the year and considering the upheaval of all our lives, we may have forgotten many of the other things that happened during the year.  I’d like to provide some of those points as a reminder.  If you like to see the complete listing you can visit:  https://mashable.com/article/what-happened-2020/ The listing also includes many video clips that you might find interesting.

 

1.      Megxit happened!  Megham Markle and Prince Harry moved out of a British castle.  That broke the hearts of some people.

 

4. There were locust swarms in Africa.  So, if any of you made it to Africa during 2020, I hope you didn’t have any troubles.

 

6. Michael Bloomberg ran for president.  You see what money can do for you.

 

8. Vanessa Hudgens couldn’t understand why people dying from COVID was bad.  We were probably all a little confused at the beginning, but she did apologize later.

 

13. We thought stockpiling toilet paper would save us from the virus!  I’m thinking if you needed THAT much toilet paper you have a different BIG problem to deal with!

 

17. Trump praised the coronavirus opinions of a doctor who believes there are demons in sperm.  Maybe he was only referencing his own personal situation, who knows?

 

38. Quibi launched --- then shut down only six months and 1.75 BILLION dollars later.  Something to think about: They could get that much investment funds, but people were in desperate need of food!

 

45. Lori Loughlin went to prison.  Only because of her pride, greed, and arrogance of having her daughters in a “certain school.”

57. The Pentagon released UFO videos and no one cared.  It was probably because there were no FAMOUS people in the videos posing with the aliens.

 

     And there are others within their list that you will have to read.  Why would we be even interested in any of these things?  We’re Only Human!
