Look Up! Don’t Miss the Starlight at the End of the 2020 Tunnel
Brighter than it’s been for 800 years
Beating a Dead Horse
2020 has been a devastating, difficult year. The year of the COVID-19 global pandemic will never be forgotten, and its impact on our psyches, our wallets, our businesses, families, and social lives will linger like the taste of sour milk on our tongues.
When things are really bad, people use humor to survive, and quotes abound that reflect the dire circumstances of 2020:
“The bright side of 2020 being the worse year ever is that it will drastically reduce the number of ‘hindsight is 2020’ jokes.”
and
“Has anyone tried flipping to the beginning of 2020 and choosing a different adventure?”
and
“2020 was like, ‘I know a place…’ and it took us to Hell.”
or my favorite:
“Based on 2020 thus far, I’m expecting the flying monkeys of Oz to show up any time now.”
It was bad. No doubt about it. But there’s no sense in beating a dead horse. Instead, look at the bright side…literally.
