My take on this... a new year brings new challenges with it!

Hello again!

I don’t know about you, but I am so excited about the beginnings of a new year, new challenges await us.

In-school-classes, could become a thing of the past. Virtual learning could become the new normal. As a matter of fact, that has already been thought of many. But, our thoughts are temporary . Rules of action can be enforced and become permanent. We will just have to wait and see what happens.

Virtual learning could be a new way for adoption. The ones who have already been traumatized by this have already stated that they will never do it again. Those children will need a home rather quickly.

Of course, the parents or guardians of these children will happily make the wishes come true, but only out of unselfishness and the desire to make others happy.

There are those who have yearned for the “pitter-patter” of little feet and will be delighted. Of course, depending upon the ages of the children, some might be hearing more of a “clump, clank” instead of a “pitter-patter.” This sounds like a “win-win” to me.

Adoptions could finally be affordable and at a tremendous discount. Can you even imagine an adoption fee of “zero-dollars” and to be payable upon the day of adoption.

Before I go on to something else, I should clarify that I would never consider doing this to my children or grandchildren, but what other people do is their business.

No public schooling would result in school buses being a thing of the past. There would be a need to sell the buses. Ways will be needed to repurpose to initiate sales. No need to worry. I have a few solutions to the problem. (Imagine that?)

Buses can be sold for the very popular and trending “she-sheds!” The popular demand for that would be so high, a profit could be made!

Options for sales are endless. Buses have been transformed to motorhomes for the “dreamers of travel.” They have become a “home oasis,” for many. I’ve seen the most beautiful homes decorated for “forever homes.” If I had ones, I’d paint the outside pretty pink and decorate the inside with a rose theme of pinks and whites. Me and my cat could live happily ever after. I’ve always dreamed of a “story-book-life.”

I am realistic, but I still have my dreams. Being a realist is knowing life holds disappointments, sorrows, and many obstacles in our lives, but being realistic also means we will have “unasked” for blessings, success, and happiness.

Dreaming is imaginary. Dreaming is a calm place for me in troubled moments.

Dreams are far from reality, but always pleasant. I have a stone that’s engraved. The inscription says, there is nothing wrong with chasing dreams - you might catch one. But, you must remember dreams are not what real lives are based on. Reality isn’t always as pretty, but it keeps us accountable and reliable to ourselves and others.

Wow, this one of these times, I could write not-stop. My thoughts keep going, but the realist side of me knows my article spots have a limit. I have been known to write too much. That’s when it continues on a different page. LOL.

So, I’ll go for now with another article behind me and, hopefully, more to come.

Remember to smile often and always be thankful!

Until later...
