I do not believe that there will be some magical reset at midnight tonight.
Realistically, some of the concerns of this year may (likely) persist in to ‘21.
But, it’s a fresh calendar.
And, with the hopes of a New Year comes the spiritual suppression of the stigma associated with the year that “shall not be named.”
So, with a mind set on Positivity, to all my Friends, Acquaintances, Followers and occasional Passers-by,
I wish you all Excellent Health and Immeasurable Prosperity for 2021.
