I am not sure there could be a better quote for the upcoming new year.
“An optimist stays up until midnight to see the New Year in – a pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves.”
Bill Vaughan
One Liner Wednesday is brought to us each week by Linda Hill. Check out Linda’s blog to see what others have to say with just one line.
I am hoping that I stay awake past midnight tomorrow, if only to hope for better things in 2021.
Best wishes, and a very happy new year to you and your family.
Pete.

Great quote. I am always an optimist, but I won’t mind catching the moment 2020 ends.

Thank you, Mary. We spent our evening watching “Sleepless in Seattle”, eating tacos and just enjoying the quiet.

I think many (maybe even most) of us will be watching to make sure that 2020 gets the hell away from us…

We were awake, but we don’t make a big deal out of this day. We watched a movie “Sleepless in Seattle”, made tacos and exchanged text messages with friends and family.

Oh I loved Sleepless in Seattle. A lovely choice.
I ended up being awake and the texts were flying as well as a firework or two and a hooting horn.
