What a wonderful sentiment, to combine a peaceful ending of a year with a wish for a brighter new one. :) <br /><br />Prayers for Helena. I can hardly imagine how many of us would go over the edge if any more bad news hits in what has been an execrable year. :( Please please be alright, Helena! <br /><br />I agree with you about this year: I will not miss 2020 one bit. The Chinese having a saying about holding on for a brighter future. "Keep a green mountain, and you'll never lack for firewood." (Liú dé qīng shān zài, bù pà méi chái shāo 留得青山在,不怕没柴烧). Yeah, it sounds odd to translate that literally, but it has a deep meaning. The "green mountain" is a metaphor for the person herself; so long as she keeps the light of life bright within herself, she can rebuild and renew. <br /><br />The year 2020 has brought grief and loss to so many of us. Yet we have held on and are still holding on, not giving up in face of disaster or despair. Blessedness and hugs to you in this New Year! Stay green. <3 Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11737100434813480808noreply@blogger.com
