My friend Lynn emailed the following to me. I don’t know where the points originated so can’t credit who wrote the original but thought they were well worth stealing and passing on. We need a wee smile at the end of this particularly crappy year, don’t we?
10 Points to Ponder as 2020 draws to a close …
1. The dumbest thing I ever bought was a 2020 planner.
2. 2019: Stay away from negative people. 2020: Stay away from positive people.
3. The world has turned upside down. Old folks are sneaking out of the house & their kids are yelling at them to stay indoors!
4. This morning I saw a neighbour talking to her cat. It was obvious she thought her cat understood her. I came to my house & told my dog…. We had a good laugh.
5. Every few days try your jeans on just to make sure they fit. Pyjamas will have you believe all is well in the kingdom.
6. Does anyone know if we can take showers yet or should we just keep washing our hands?
7. I never thought the comment, “I wouldn’t touch him/her with a 6-foot pole” would become a national policy, but here we are!
8. I need to practice social-distancing ….from the refrigerator.
9. I hope the weather is good tomorrow for my trip out to the bins!
10. Never in a million years could I have imagined I would go into a bank with a mask on and ask for money.
Great points to ponder! 🤣😂🤩 xo

I was partial to #4. I talk to my cats and dogs, but I have heard people laughing about talking to a cat and then talking to their dog.

Mary, a gem of points from your friend! The bank point is one I laughed at most and what I think every time I went to the bank this year! Bank and masks! 😀 If we read these last year we would wonder about the madness of it all! X

I liked the bank one, too, Annika – and #5. We simply wouldn’t understand half of them if we read them last year! I’m just glad we can still find something to smile at amidst the horrors of this year.
