Good People,
This is the last post of 2020. It has been quite the year and we all have struggled in one way or another. Some how we made it throughout the year and I feel lucky having done so. Whatever comes our way in the future lets be supportive and kind. My friends, may we have peace in the coming year.
Also, wear your masks, we still have a pandemic out there.
Your Friend,
Tony
My friends, it’s New Year’s Eve and it’s time we said farewell to 2020. In what has been a horrible year we can look forward to a new one that I hope will be better all around for everyone. Of course, it’s a clean slate and we can all be grateful for that. Peace to you all and peace on Earth.
For some 2021 has already come and we wish you, good people, a Happy New Year!
I had a second COVID test on Monday, December 28th and the results came back negative for the virus. As much as I am relieved, there are others who are struggling with it and many have died because of it. The Coronavirus is nothing to take lightly. I am still wearing my mask and social distancing. Right now you can’t be too careful for yourself and those around you.
Tuesdays can be a challenge especially when you start off the week with a bang. Work is often a marathon and not a sprint from my perspective. When meeting a quota you have to have to work smarter not harder. Although, hard work is its own reward. Persistence, patience and a little perspiration can help you get to where you want to go at any time. Success and goals come with what you want to achieve individually and collectively with a team. So let your Tuesdays come with a little extra moxie and hopefully things will be where you want them to be.
The story of my faith features a baby who came into the world to change it as a grownup. So with that being said little things have great power to impact the lives of us all. I can’t help but think that humility, kindness, peace, and grace are little things on their own but together they can make a difference. If everyone did their part we would live in a world that would be so much better than what we live in now. Truly it’s the little things that count the most. I find genuine actions don’t come from grand gestures but from those good deeds done daily where we see the most beautiful. Seek those opportunities to do what you can when you can as much as you can.
Just a reminder that Christmas is a wonderful season, not just one day. The journey is more fun than the destination.
Kwanzaa is a secular festival observed by many African Americans from December 26 to January 1 as a celebration of their cultural heritage and traditional values.
To all my friends celebrating may this be a day of peace, celebrations and love. May all humanity have the spirit of this day.
