Let’s Try To Be Positive

It appears that Christmas has suddenly arrived without us realising it, because let’s face it, none of us
have faced anything like this pandemic before. It is hard to ‘be merry’ when the country is in a crisis
situation. The virus has effected every aspect of our lives, job security, being able to visit family or sick
relatives, to socialise or take part in leisure or sporting activities, in fact pretty much everything we do
during our daily lives has the black virus cloud hovering over it.

What we must do though, is try to be positive. 2021 surely cannot be worse than 2020, can it? The good
news recently that a vaccine is on the horizon gave us all a lift, but we have to be patient because this
probably won’t be available until the middle of next year, but hope indeed. I suppose we could adopt the
opinion of some that the virus doesn’t exist and is a conspiracy and totally ignore social distancing and
face coverings and hope that whatever doesn’t exist goes away! Hard to understand who the ‘conspirators’
are though.

Anyway, whatever Christmas you have, try to enjoy it and let us all look forward to a more positive, safe
and prosperous new year.

Thank you for reading.
