I know I am long over due for one. I will say I am surprised that people have still made comments since I launched the book 10 years ago and people have shared similar thoughts. I do appreciate everyone that has come and visited the site. Anyways, I never imagine by 2020 there would a global pandemic. I am sure everyone will remember where they were when the shutdown happened for their location. For me, it was the day after my birthday in March when the shutdown all began. At first, everyone was extremely scared, but over time society has developed pandemic fatigue. We can see in the numbers that are being published that cases are climbing for the second wave at time of this blog post. Of course, there is a lot of sadness that has occurred with the deaths of over 1 Million+ globally¹.

A lot of people have tried to guess when we will get back to normal. If you look back at the Spanish Flu², it took 2 years from 1918-1920. That would be my best guess for normalcy because history tends to repeat itself. We anticipate we will have vaccines for COVID-19 by December, but it won’t reach the population until the middle of 2021 at the earliest due to the requirements of the vaccine. That’s why it’s important to keep your Fitness up (health) because if you get sick there might not be a full-proof way to treat you.

Where do we go from here?

There is only one place we can go…. forward. It’s going to be hard for many people if they have lost a loved one, but I am sure their loved ones would want them to move forward. I wish I can say things will be ok, but I really don’t know and that’s where Faith comes in. Faith that things will get better even though there is hurt, pain, and suffering from this pandemic. But you have to keep going. We have to remember our ancestor’s survival The Black Plague, Spanish Flu, and many other things throughout history. We will too survive!

Remember to hug your Family and Friends

Remember to hug your family and friends if even virtually.

What I realized I missed the most during 2020 was simply getting a chance to really spend quality time with my Family and Friends. We really don’t know when it will be our last time seeing them or spending time. If you are able to safely, remember to give them a hug. I think there are many benefits from hugging ranging from distressing to regenerating muscles³.

Thoughts on finances for 2020

During the past year, it’s been a struggle for many families since they could not work because of the restrictions. I have put together some links for us here:

https://www.usa.gov/help-with-bills
https://www.usa.gov/disaster-help-food-housing-bills

But you can do a quick google search to see if there are locate programs available in your area. Don’t be shy asking for help financially. The worst that can happen is that people will say no. But remember you got to put food on the table for yourself and family and people out there will help!

Last Thoughts to close out 2020

Again I know 2020 was not easy for many and myself, but we must keep on going. I will try to write more post as time permits.

I was watching this TED talk about how to live 100+. It’s pretty good. Basically, you have 3 of the 5 F’s in it (Fitness, Family, & Friends). I know the age old saying it’s all about the quality of life, but if you can have both quantity and quality why not go for it?

I would encourage people to watch it.

On a side note, I am going to start upgrading the site =)

The easy answer is try harder, but the truth is we must convince ourselves that our goals are doable and let ourselves fail in order to get back up. I know my readers out there needs some steps….
