Happy New Year 2020


I found this wise quote on Pinterest that says 'Happiness is not the absence of problems, it's the ability to deal with them.'

My New Year's thoughts are that the world needs more kindness and caring.  I am thinking of all the violence, homelessness, and refugee problems.  It is so hard to watch the news these days.  There is a lot of anger and mental illness in our society.

I am borrowing a DVD from the library called Planet Earth, it is a BBC TV series from 2006 narrated by David Attenborough that I somehow never got around to seeing.

Anyway, Happy New Year 2020!

i like the quote -
I remember my sis talking about that series back in the day and I never saw it - i think it might be on netflix or something - i remember seeing it I believe. I hope your new year is great. I'm using today to catch up on all the blogs I've missed over the holidays.

sadly not all problems are able to be overcome but yes kindness would go along way in helping solve some of the world problems
