There was and is a lot of hope for the new year. As we exited the old and creep in to the new, my fear however is some of the 2020 dumpster fire of year may have spilled over into 2021.
I am so looking forward to things getting back to “normal” (whatever that is now). 2020 was a year of un-realized goals for a lot of people after the China Flu hit. The world basically descended in to a long spiral of weird stuff. With all the government mandated community shutdowns, the year just seemed to plod along in a perpetual holding pattern. “Just a couple weeks to flatten the curve” turned in to more of a rollercoaster year of close-open-close. Anyway, I feel like 2020 is a dark rabbit hole we’re just beginning to claw out of. Looking back over the year I realized I hadn’t done a lot of … well anything really. As a designated “essential worker” I was fortunate enough to have steady paying employment all year. But with trails and parks and restaurants and travel pretty much shut down most of the year, working is about all I accomplished. So as I move in to the new year I want to get out more, explore more, and enjoy more. With all of this said, here’s to 2020 being over & the start of a Happy New Year!
My 2021 Wish List
Inspired by another blogger’s site, I’ve decided to post some of targets to shoot for in 2021, so here are some of my outdoor goals for this year.
- Visit 3 new state parks.
- Hike 1 new segment of the Palmetto Trail.
- Bag 5 of the “Southern 6ers”.
- Camp overnight with Radar
