Resolution: This is the final writing prompt for 2020. I am not one of make new year’s resolutions as I’ve found them to be a source of disappointment and failure as the new year progresses. I am not disciplined enough to carry off new year’s resolutions.

As I think back to the past year, I realize that 2020 was not the year to make and succeed at keeping resolutions. The year started out fine, until February, when word of the coronavirus pandemic hit first in Asia and eventually worldwide.

Because I am retired and considered at a higher risk of getting the virus and recovering from it I have spent most of the year in a self-imposed quarantine.

I could feel resentful for the way life is happening right now but there is no benefit to that. Rather, I look forward to a new year and will deal with what it puts forth.

Happy New Year 2021!
