My thoughts released; a mind set free
These pages contain my thoughts, from meandering ideas and persuasions to deep cerebrations and serious mentations.

Why, for what purpose? To release my mind and set creativity free. Somewhere inside the constraints of my mind dwells a writer, a poet, an artist who paints with words. In here I release those constraints and set the artist free.

Perhaps, lost somewhere in the depths of thought, is a story or a poem, waiting to be written.

I'm docked at Talent Pond's Blog Harbor, a safe port for bloggers to connect.

So, this is 2021 and another year passes. Will the new year be a good year or not? For that matter, was the last year a good year or not. It was, from a historical point of view, an interesting year. Sometime in the future, it will be read online or in textbooks and there will be those who refuse to believe what we lived through; hell we're still living through it. Others will believe it but think we all blew everything out of proportion. And, then there will be those who will be convinced it was some kind of conspiracy.

I know it's been a difficult year for many people, there has been loss, there has been destruction, and there has been fear. We also had a lot of terrible things we lived through, a lot of frustrations, a lot of fear of not knowing what was going to happen to us. But, we didn't bury our heads in the sand or close the world out. We did what we needed to do, difficult as it was, and we pushed forward and survived.

Now that it's all done and we enter a new year, I look back and instead of focusing on all the negatives, I look to see how many positives we gained through the year; there are a lot. The choices we made would have been different if not for the pandemic and the problems that arose from it.

It's like looking back upon one's life and realizing that if we were to go back and change anything, it would change us. I'm not saying that we are shaped by our circumstances and our environment, but by the choices we make in regards to our circumstances and environment.

I don't know what 2021 will bring, will it be a good year and we will see an end to the pandemic, will people set aside their differences and we will enjoy a period of peace and prosperity? Or, perhaps the virus will continue to mutate and stay a step ahead of our vaccines. Perhaps people will become frustrated and look for others to blame and civil unrest and lawlessness will break out around the globe. Perhaps some madman will take advantage of the problems the world is facing and rise to power and engulf us in yet another world war. Hell, maybe this year the aliens will arrive and enslave all of us or exterminate us completely.

Anything is possible. Well, almost anything. I did read a headline that stated the aliens don't visit Earth because it's too expensive. But, that's for another day, for today, what I'm saying is what the year will bring is unknown, but I do know this, I'm going to focus on the positives and have a good year and wish the same for all of you.
