Thank you for joining me to say good by, and good riddance, to 2020. Although as bad as it was, I hope we all learned something from the roller coaster ride that year was. And we’re not out of the amusement park yet, but at least we’re seeing the exit sign ahead.
To start the year, I thought I would suggest you review or read for the first time some previous posts that address something “new”, especially since I have so many new followers, which I appreciate immensely.

The cause of IBS is still uncertain but gastrointestinal specialists cite several issues that likely contribute.

Ha-ha, I have not heard that idea but I like it. I think many of us would like a do-over of things we missed last year. I hope we appreciate them all the more when they do happen. Some things we will decide aren’t worth missing. Thanks for dropping by my blog.

Happy New Year, Aletha. I like that name. It has a ring to it. Glad to say that one good thing came out of 2020. Usually by this time I’ve gone through a round of severe cold, which almost always morphs to pneumonia. I hate that, but have come to accept it. Anyway, since we’ve been isolated, and masked, I’m happy to say that beyond a few sniffles here and there, I’ve not had to be sick all winter… so far! YEAH! For that, I’m immensely grateful, especially as I can’t afford the co-pay for a doc. Health is something to be truly treasured. As a caregiver for someone with a rare disorder that could be fatal at any moment, we’ve learned to treasure each moment we have together. We don’t forget to tell each other everyday that we love, cherish, and value one another. If this past year has taught anyone anything, then maybe that should be it. So, I hope this year brings you health, and hope. Shalom, Bear

I believe that many good things came during 2020 if we just recognize them. Many look forward to getting lives back to “normal” but I know that for some, normal is not so pleasant. So I pray that we all recognize both the good and the bad, and do what we can to help all of us create a “normal” worth getting back to. It sounds like you already know how to do that. Thanks for sharing.
