The end of the year is normally the time for me to summarize my year’s travel. 2020 was not that year. Instead, I’m posting my December illustrated journal, including thankful thoughts for 2020. I honestly can’t say that I’m hopeful for 2021, that things will get back to normal, that we will take back our lives. However, new normal can be created as we have been doing so over the past months. One thing I would like to do in 2021 is to listen to music as in the old days, when music was not in the background but the main activity. I listen to music all the time. Even when there’s no music, I play songs in my head. But during the past years, listening to music became an addition while doing other things. Now I want to listen to music and just close my eyes…

How was your year 2020? What are your hopes for 2021? May 2021 be better that the year that was!
