I had a blog written for my final posting of 2020. It hinged on the words of Auld Lang’s Syne, its origins, it’s true meaning, how little of the words we really know, to me it’s a fascinating story but after I read it a few time I thought it might be too heavy on history and ultimately not all that engaging to you all. I’ve included a link to my favourite research site for you to follow if you like. I also looked to see if I had blogged about Auld Lang’s Syne before and I found a ‘Seven Year Old’ entry on New Years Eve 2013 and I spoke about Mitch Albom’s book and his message about taking your time to enjoy the gift of time. The blog is worth a re-read but for me I have to dig out Mitch today and read the book again. Goal # 1 for 2021
And so for this very short ‘New Year’s’ wish to every single one of you. May you find your ‘Rainbow Connection’ again in 2021. Kermit will explain.
It is important to note that I used the word ‘again’ in my new years wish. We all experienced the ‘Rainbow Connection’ as children (and some thankfully as adults), but the hard edges of life can knock the magic out of life for so many of us.
“Who said that every wish would be heard and answered, when wished on the morning star. Somebody thought of that, and someone believed it. Look what it’s done so far”
I was fortunate to have the Muppets and Jim Henson in my life ( you see Kermit was born in 1955 and me in 1959) and it’s one of the things I am eternally thankful for. Paul Williams the writer of the song that Kermit sings talks about Jim as the ‘Elegance of Kindness’ in his book ‘Gratitude and Trust’. As with all of my blogs, you have lots of ‘hyperlinks’ to navigate and discover great content. And so I just finally want to wish you all the best for 2021. Go and find the magic, it exists I truly promise you.
Maybe your life purpose isn’t supposed to be a thrill-seeking narrative. What if you’re meant to be the sunshine to someone’s stormy day? Or the voice of clarity to a frantic mind? You don’t have to be a superhero to save the world.

So final message for 2020 from my blog, please, you lovers and dreamers, please join me in star gazing and having faith in the magic. Be kind, grateful and patient in 2021. Take the ‘time’ to ‘BE’
If a green felt ‘frog’ called Kermit doesn’t do it for you, maybe a craggy Willie Nelson might.
The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.
