The End

In the past I have done a lot of reading, in the Summertime underneath a shady tree when it is too hot to do anything else.  In the Winter, curled up in a nice comfy chair with a quilt and a cup of tea.  Recently I have not been reading books, I like turning the pages, not looking at a screen. The libraries were closed for some time,  then the busy gardening season started, oh!! so many excuses.  

The reason I am talking about books is because 2020 has been similar to a book, one chapter worse than the previous.  The the book opens as normal, the second chapter changed, lives were turned upside down by a mysterious virus.  On going paragraphs ran into chapters which told of so many terrible stories that seem could only be wrote in a si fi movie. As the story progresses through the Summer, the words indicate a lull in the horror, only to have the beast rear it's ugly head when the cold weather grippes the northern hemisphere.  

The story now takes on a grim turn, everything made worse by people disobeying the rules, the doctors and nurses trying to help those who are sick, hospitals are full of ill people,  store owners hoping to be able to keep they businesses even if very few people are able to access their establishment.  And so it continues.  

Then as all good stories end there is a bright spot on the horizon the "good guys" come riding over the hill to save those in peril.  On their horses they carry boxes, many boxes filled with a life saving potion.  This miracle liquid is now being administered to people, in hopes of many lives being saved. 

The final chapter is now the only one left to be read  and there looks as if there is a hole at the end of the tunnel, even though it is a very long tunnel.  

The final sentences of this book have yet to be written, but my hope is, when we get to "The End" it is a happy ending and volume two of this saga, begins with 2021, looking more promising than 2020 which will be coming to an end tonight.

On that note I will Wish all who visit my blog, a very Happy New Year.  hoping it is Happier that 20020
