The year 2020 came with such a Big Bang. The sound of it was so unique and we all looked forward to an amazing year. What we did not suspect was that it was going to be a year of new discoveries, at least not in the fashion that we are used to.

The world would have wished to have everything about 2019 gone with the wind but not with the novel Coronavirus. That was how COVID-19 (Corona Virus Discovered in 2019) changed the colour of 2020 and the world never remained the same again.

The year 2020 rolls out in a bit. What an amazing year it would be remembered for. A year when positive could mean negative and negative could mean positive, depending on the topic. A year of opportunities. A year of excuses. The year 2020 would go down as the year when your social and economic status determined your risk of association.

There were losses and there were gains. May God restore all that was lost. For the irreplaceable loss of lives, may humanity find comfort in the all knowing God.

Man by nature is an adventure seeker, defying the odds and daring the greatest risk even with the slimmest hope. Only a threat to life reminds man of his vulnerability, no matter his strength and resilience.

By this time next week, 2021 would have been birthed. It is a good time for me to say thank you for your companionship in 2020. Even in its adversities, the year 2020 taught us unforgettable life lessons. Together we made a lot of progress, in spite of the odds.

Different people have different things to say about 2020 but if you have life, you made the biggest gain.

Happy New Year in advance.
