#2021isnojoke

Time flies, that is no joke. Felt like this First year of Pandemic has gone so slow, yet so fast and still so much has happened and so mucy is still to come. I feel somewhat sentimental this day and share my thoughts in this one. 2021 show how things can change. The new administration in US changes the stressful climate around presidential leadership at least for a moment. Vaccination programs are now rolling out on more and more places hopefully helping showing quick and helpful results. I cannot and do not dare to comprehend or dream about what this could mean. And in the meantime life continues, with its upsides and downsides.

I can only hope and wish for us all to take with us all the emotions and feelings this year has given us. Being grateful and thankful for what we have? Looking at the smaller beautiful things around us, maybe the smallest flower that eventually burst into colours, maybe that graciously growing tree in the backyard of yours or a neighbour. Maybe the dinner food at home that is so easily overlooked when the wheels just spin like regularly. I know how I want to go forward from here, with love and compassion. With understanding for all of us humans different backgrounds and experiences, remembering how it is when things are tough and how the smallest things matters. I want more and more of us humans to feel welcome and heard, understood and therefore like they have an important role in this universe.

Never has a Green movement felt so close and possible. What is needed? That we keep doing what we have dine this year, asking what is necessary in my life and what do I really need to be a happy and healthy human. Is it more of this and that? Or is it to appreciate what we have in front of us more and enjoy. From a commercialism view, choose with care and respect and thought.
We need to really make smart and thought through choices, that will show up to be sustainable in the end. Paying off quicker than we can imagine.

Enjoy what you have as much as possible and make that call, or tell that someone you appreciate them and love them if so.
