There’s no better time than a new year to spell out your hopes and dreams for yourself and your fellow citizens. Call us idealists, but in 2020 we wish:
- Civility returns to our public discourse.
- Children stop being in such a rush to grow up.
- Celebrity is no longer confused with hero.
- More people learn to listen instead of just waiting to talk.
- Public schools reinvest in art and music programs.
- Businesses return to the days of live voices answering the phones.
- Those who have closed minds learn to also have closed mouths.
- The word “kindness” is heard more often.
- Everyone finds a way to feel useful.
- BBQ restaurants would give out more napkins.
- More people would accompany their success with humility.
- We could each, even as we get older, recapture a child’s sense of wonderment.
- We all learn how to buy low and sell high.
- People would value character over reputation.
- America would do more for our veterans.
- Everyone sets goals that take them to happy places.
- Chocolate and fried chicken are found to be healthy.
- The Dodgers finally win the World Series again.
- That the good old days prove to still be ahead.
- All of our lives are filled with nothing but peace, health and happiness.
Thank you for being one of our valued readers. We wish you and yours a wonderful holiday season and a Happy New Year.
