Looking forward to the promise of a New Year

 cj Sez: This is the last Lyrical Pens post of this year and a good time for me to reflect on the stresses of 2020 as I optimistically look forward to happier and healthier 2021.

 
  “When sorrows like sea billows roll” pretty much describes 2020 for me—both of my sisters died, three months apart (not virus related)—but I find comfort and peace leaning on God’s promises and declare, “it is well with my soul.”

  Despite the sorrows, I have much to be grateful for.

  I’m grateful for my loving family...grateful for the wonderful exuberance of grandkids…grateful for good health in the midst of a world-wide pandemic…grateful for thoughtful neighbors and friends…grateful for the comraderie of writer communities...grateful for the indie bookstores who sell my books...grateful for meeting goals...and on and on I could go.

 

  My heartfelt thanks to you for stopping by to read my 2020 Lyrical Pens posts and leave a comment. You are the best!

   I wish you and yours a 2021 overflowing with happiness, health, and peace.
 

  You-all guys keep on keeping on, and I’ll try to do the same.
