"What makes night within us may leave stars." – Victor Hugo

I will make this brief as I think we have dwelt on 2020 long enough, but I did want to say goodbye to 2020 with optimism and hope.

Despite all the inconveniences, hardships, and sadness that many of us have had to endure this past year, there have been bright spots. Talk with just about any person and those stars in the night will emerge.

I know that both my family and me personally have experienced them. Book clubs have emerged; Zoom has prompted the extended family to reconnect; and isolation has provided time to slow down and reflect.

I would love to hear one of your “stars” of 2020. Please share.

I am finally reading books again, doing puzzles & sending snail mail to friends! Oh! I am also saving lots of money because shopping isn't nearly as much fun anymore!

My ability to continue Community Bible Study on Zoom has helped so much

Was saving money, Pam, until I found online opportunities, and yes, Joni, the Zoom bible studies have been a lifeline.

This quote will go in my collection of quotes, poems, etc. love it. Reminds me of Corrie ten Boom saying, "Remember in the dark what God has told you in the light." My neighbors gather in my garage every Saturday and as a result of getting better acquainted we celebrated NY Eve around a fire pit and even more neighbors came. Over the summer church had to meet outside which turned out to be a blessing we would've missed had we been indoors. The church has a huge lawn area where we sat under the big shade trees and enjoyed the gorgeous summer mornings. Very special and very thankful for the nice surroundings.

One of the bright spots of 2020 for me is realizing that "an old teacher can learn new tricks." If you had told me a year ago that I would be teaching primarily online I would have thought it was impossible. And here we are, and although it is far from perfect, I've gotten to know my class quite well and learning is happening. I appreciate the efforts of so many of my students' parents who, in spite of inconveniences to their schedules, have stepped up to the challenge as well.

All of the stars of mine represent all of the loving and caring people God has placed in my life. One of the brightest and shiniest is our daughter Deanna! She is such a bright reflection of Jesus.
