One of the best answers to 'tips for travelling back in time'. ;-)

Yep and Lord look out for us all in 2021.

Doubtful that 2021 will be any better. Could even be worse.

@RetRN Good point. I worry too as have heard Dr.'s warn it could get much worse after the X-Mas holiday with people travelling and meeting up for big gatherings. There are people right here in my small town who still totally ignore advice to not gather in big groups. They do it anyway, and then many many people must quarantine.

2020 wasn't one of my best years, but I have a lot to be thankful for. I have received many blessings, but I don't want a repeat this year in 2021.

Prayers for a better year ahead.

I'm choosing to be optimistic about 2021. And hopefully ecstatic when 2022 comes along.

Saw that on a t short the other day. Am sure 2020 gets the same review from us all...a friend had two grand babies born in 2020...I hope when they have to write their date of birth in the future it doesn’t get comments about what a year this has been...at least my friend has had two joyous blessings in 2020...more than most of us can say.

Like every year, a mixture of both bad and good.

We can only hope and pray that the world is in better shape in 2021.

Don't forget the record hurricane season. Used up the alphabet and went well into the Greek alphabet for names. Louisiana was in the "cone of uncertainty" 8 times, and 5 of those storms made landfall in the state. By November I totally had hurricane fatigue.

.... I don't have a lot of hope for 2021 either.

I wish people would stop blaming the year. January 2021 promises to be even worse in many ways. Nothing will get magically better.

2020 was definitely a difficult year for my family. But we did have many blessings. My son graduated from law school,got married & passed the Bar Exam. We also have been able to avoid the virus.

I'm not sure how much better 2021 will be.I pray every day for it to be a better year. Our country needs healing. We need to see people back to work & control over this horrendous virus!! Only time will tell.

I wouldn't bank on a vote for unity and healing.

2020 was supposed to *serve* as a wake-up call in many ways. It was also intended to humble people. If too few have not gotten the message, the year/s ahead will only be worse (not being pessimistic, just realistic). More people need to see the bigger picture and act accordingly.

2020 has had some wonderful blessings for me that wouldn't have come any other way. Though I hope things are better for more people next year, I have my sights on 2030.

As much as I wish that a flip of the calendar to 2021 will be better my gut says we need patience and hard work a head of us. But I still have a lot of blessings and will make an effort to remember that. I wonder where we all will be a year from now. Interesting to say the least.

Depends on what kind of a change you mean. Change isn't always necessarily for the better.

@CoffeeNut

For way too many, yes. For my personal life, which includes most of our family, we have been through many much worse. Losing 3 of our older furry family in less than 2 months was the worst part of the present year.
