One2note: 2020 , will forever be known for the year of the Wuhan virus ..
It has been a year of sacrifices , with the majority of it spent at home , away from family, friends & loved ones .
Many of us have lost loved ones, not only the vulnerable but the fit , young & people who were thought to have a high immune system. The virus took no prisoners .
But what has 2020 taught us . From my own personal experience, it’s taught me to be humble & never to take being alive for granted .

Roll on 2021
Yeah, in a way , but it also was , and still is a very good example of our truthful inner being- how we react under pressure , how easy we tend to attack people around us ,out of fear ,insecurity,
how easy we`re manipulated with

2020, the year many companies collapsed, especially in culture, travelling and horeca.
The year they took away our freedom.

Tulefell: I've been to Spain last September and the locals said that they never saw the sea so clean. (They were in lock-down for 2 months).

I do hope, that more people start to care about our planet and would vote for "green" policy and environment conscious politician.
thumbs up

Spanish waters and some 0f its ports suffer from heavy pollution from cruise ships. I imagine all the people who suffer from respiratory problems around the docking ports due to the cruise ships pollution saw their health improve drastically unless they were unlucky to get sick with "the virus". Cruise ships leave their engines running while docked in order to feed their refrigeration and air conditioning units etc... sigh

2020 ...the longest ever time without hugging my children, grandchildren, parents and bros and sis blues

I discovered how important it is for me to share my love for them with them through hugs and closeness ... I had taken for granted the ability to hop on a plane and visit. Even though I had to budget for it - it was possible - it was doable - They visited too - We created new memories together on each visit heart beating

It gave me a glimpse into the lives of people who can't ever decide if or when they might travel because they are never free to make those decision in their culture or country sigh

2020 has taught me how humans, on a worldwide scale, could radically swap their lifestyles for another more in syntony with Mother Earth from one day to the next if they chose to...

To say this pandemic is a true test of our mental strength & character is an understatement.
Conspiracy theories running all over the place.
Manipulation , I’m not sure .. Caring political leaders , I’m not sure either .
Maybe we’ll never know .confused wave

I don’t believe you haven’t visited your parents during lockdown, or even partial lockdown .

It’s shown me what’s missing In my life and what I don’t need.

Who’s important and who’s not and some of these really surprised me.

It’s so hard deedee I have had one hug from each of my parents and that was only as I got a negative test result so I knew it was safe too.
Hopefully not too much longer hug

I think you should be grateful the fact that you can visit your parents, even though hugs and kisses are not permitted.
Many haven’t seen their loved ones for almost a year .

In your original post , you misled us into believing that you haven’t seen your parents in a long while .
I really don’t understand why you posted as though you was a victim when many people haven’t seen their loved ones during this pandemic, myself included.

Do you find yourself struggling with the English language alot?

1. Didnt call myself a victim.
2. Didnt say I hadn't seen them in a long while.
3. I get that your itching for a fight because let's face it that's your bag.
4. Grow up, if not for your sake but for the sake of the woman your currently torturing by being you.


cheers
