Before we bid 2020 a fond farewell, Santa having come and gone, returned to the North Pole (unless he got sidetracked in Detroit on the way back for some reason) let us pause to look at ourselves in the mirror and take stock.

Are you a better person today than you were a year ago? Probably not, but did you at least try your best to clean up all of your bad habits and forgive those who have trespassed against you?

Have you tried to walk a mile in somebody else's shoes even if they don't fit?

Is your conscious clean from 2020? If not, take some time today and clean it up before you venture into 2021.

Are you brave and courageous heading into 2021? If not, it's okay that you are scared like the rest of us. I just thought someone I know might set an example and be a role model.

Finally, remember that there are meds for acid reflux and panic attacks as you try to forget 2020. And if all else fails, act like you're crazy. At least you'll blend in with your surroundings.
