Ellen came up with the first two questions and Lorianne came up with the last two questions.

Here are this weeks questions:
1. My focus word for 2021 is ________________.
2. I didn’t get to ____________ this year, but I hope to in 2021.
3. The year 2020 taught me _________.
4. _________ is one of my biggest goals for 2021.

Here are my answers:
1. My focus word for 2021 is kindness.
2. I didn’t get to go to Rockaway Beach this year, but I hope to in 2021.
3. The year 2020 taught me that every year is special. We just need to focus on the positive not the negative.

    Love that picture of the cat.
    Your answer to number 3 is spot on. Too many people focus on the negative. Life is so much easier when you focus on the positive.
    Happy New Year.

      I refuse to live in fear and negativity. 2020 was a good year for us. Happy New Year, my friend. 🙂

  2. Memories of Eric and Flynn – I started this blog to show my holiday photos but haven't added to it for so long, but you can see my other holiday photos at https://allatseawithme.blogspot.com My main blog is my cat blog at https://twodevoncats.blogspot.com
    Memories of Eric and Flynn says:

    Happy New Year! We didn’t get away anywhere in 2020 apart from a short break in early February. Hopefully later this year we will get a better new normal.
    We still have our Canada New England 27 day roundtrip cruise booked for October but I had an email last week saying all port calls in the US are cancelled. It is unlikely that we will go anyway because all the sea days are a risk with my health problems. Boston was one of the places I really wanted to revisit, but it seems it is not to be.

      Sandee says:

      We’re going for looking for all things positive and kicking the negative to the curb. Happy New Year. 🙂

  3. Cleo says:

    I’d say question #2 is one that lots and lots of people the world over will definitely have an answer to. I know mom and dad were planning a road trip to see their families and friends this past April and had to cancel it. They’re hoping they’ll get to make the trip at some point in the coming year, but they’re not real positive about it. Happy New Year!

      Sandee says:

      I know it. So many cancelled plans. Perhaps this year we can go. Happy New Year. 🙂

    The cat does not look too impressed, let’s hope 2021 wows him yet, and us, too.

    Boating more sounds like a great goal, i pray you and Mr. Zane have a fabulous year.

      Sandee says:

      No, that was me this morning. I pray that you and Mr. Sweetie have a fabulous year too. 🙂

    Invisibly Me says:

    A little more kindness in the world would go a long way, wouldn’t it? Love that as a word for the year, and also to focus on the positives rather than get bogged down by the negatives. I really hope you two get off to that Rockaway Beach this year & have plenty of boating to look forward to.

    Happy New Year – Here’s to hoping it’s a bright (eventually Covid-free) one! 🎉♥🎉♥🎉

    Happy New Year! We sure hope you get to do as much boating as you want this year. I think everyone learned that anything can happen in the world, even things we would never imagine. Hopefully the tide will start to turn soon.

She loves using vivid colors and flowing shapes in her oil paintings as well as creating edible landscapes.
