New Year New You Giveaway Hop

|

It’s the first day of the new year and there is so much going on! I am so excited for this year because I have some changes I want to make. On top of that it has to be better than last year. This giveaway hop is another reason to love this year. As always, I need to thank MamatheFox for putting this hop together.

Hopeful

That is what I am for 2021. I would love to say I feel so good about it but I’m afraid that will somehow jinx it up. I am hopeful that this year is better than the last. That being said I am preparing for the worst because it could be even crazier. I want to be hopeful for the things to come. Hopeful that the world will get better each day and that we all recover.

  1. I’m feeling kind of unsure about 2021. I had high hopes for 2020 and we all know how that went.

  3. I am nervous and uncertain. About the health situation, about business, about government….well just about everything this year

  7. I am feeling positive about 2021. We still have to get through the first part of 2021 but hopefully the vaccine will be distributed quickly and that will help to get the virus under some sort of control.
    At this point we survived 2020 perhaps a little banged and bruised but we survived.

  9. I’m feeling cautiously optimistic about 2021. Trying to keep hope alive that it will be a better year than 2020.

  17. I’m feeling optimistic about 2021 but realistic. Things aren’t going to be “normal” or OK for a while….might take a year from now. But I have faith that 2021 will be better than 2020!!

  23. I’m looking forward to 2021. It’s unknown territory, and I’ll deal with whatever happens when it comes.

  25. I am trying to be patient and stay optimistic during 2021 and in general I am feeling more hopeful.

  29. I am feeling hopeful about 2021. I’m hoping that Covid will subside and things will go back to some normalcy.

  35. I’m hoping 2021 will be a better year than 2020. I’m looking forward to retiring at the end of the year.

  37. I am hoping that 2021 will be better. I miss my family and I can’t wait to hug my loved ones.

  39. I’m being optimistic that we will be progressing faster to contain the virus and people will be able to start doing more.

    • I’m feeling hopeful about 2021, can’t get any worse than the year that just left

  43. Mixed emotions. I just recently had a health issue and so I am nervous and scared but at the same time I am determined to start taking care of myself and putting in effort like I do with taking care of my family. I have got to stop putting myself last and putting my things off.

  44. I’m feeling nervous about 2021, but I’m hoping for the best. I am going to try to tune out all the negative stuff in the news this year. It’s better to focus on things you can change, so I will do what I can to make 2021 better for myself.

  45. I’m thinking the second half of 2021 should be something to anticipate, and the first half, I expect we’ll still be hunkered down for the most part. Many people around here are defying mask orders, and/or don’t believe in the risk or the vaccine. I want to sign up for the vaccine as soon as it is allowed for my designation, which will most likely be possibly around April or May. I’m grateful that I have not had a terrible bout with Covid, I did lose one relative, and another, almost, and two who were seniors working in a hospital had to quit their job due to co-morbidities, one whole family got Covid, but recovered. Since it is supposed to get way worse before it gets better, I don’t want to think that the new year will be like flipping the switch, but have “switched gears” to doing what I can not being out much, and it is hard to make plans and goals for 2021, but my main goal is still to try to not get Covid, no matter what else I can accomplish.

  57. I’m thankful that President Trump was able to fast track the vaccine and I’m hopeful that it will help us to get back to somewhere near normal. I don’t expect things to improve quickly but slow progress is better than no progress.

  59. I am feeling grateful to see the new year come in and i hope things go back to normal

  62. Well we have been in since 3/13 and our son can not get the shot so we wont be out till its all over . I just have hope people will wear there mask and have social distance so we can get through it.

  66. Right now I feel that 2021 is just going to be a continuation of the problems of 2020.

  67. I am feeling cautiously optimistic, with the promise of the vaccine on the horizon.

  69. I AM FEELING OPTIMISTIC. I THINK ONCE WE GET PAST THE FIRST FEW MONTHS, IT WILL BE BETTER FROM THERE 🙂

  70. I tend to be a very optimistic person but the last 10 months has certainly been a trial. Still, I am hopeful that life will slowly begin to improve as the vaccine is much more widely administered. Fingers crossed, and with too many dark days before the sun shines again but hopeful!

  74. I’m feeling hopeful, but at the same time, I realize that things will never go back to normal. I’ll need to adapt.

  77. I am hoping for things to settle down some during 2021.
    Maybe get a bit of routine back in my days.

  79. Last year I had a miscarriage and my mom died of sepsis right before Christmas. 2021 will definitely be better!

  86. I’m worried about what will happen to our Country this year. I’ve seen so much division between people who traditionally stand for the same thing and worry that this will worsen.

  87. I’s excited to see what the year has in store. With 4 kids its always changing and full of suprises.

  88. I’m feeling hopeful and my New Year’s Resolution is to spend as much time with my grandson as I can when it is safe to do so.

  90. Well, if the first 2 days are any indication of how it’s going to go…I’m screwed! I have had nothing but crap happening, so I’m certainly hoping it will get better. It has to…right? God bless and Happy New Year everyone!

  95. I’m feeling pretty positive about it. Definitely hoping it is better than 2020.

  96. Waiting for it to turn around (still) – the electric to my dishwasher messed up again; my fireplace won’t start; my niece’s horse died and ….. I’m ready for it to turn around

  106. I am excited for this new year but so far I have been in pain for all the days of 2021 so far. Still, hopeful for a better year.

  111. I’m a little uncertain about 2021 already. So far my tv has died, my email program has decided I’m not allowed to see my email, and I haven’t won the lottery yet. Sigh. However, I remain hopeful that it will perk up.

  122. I am trying to feel more positive in 2021, as well as hopeful for everyone to stay safe.
    Thank you for the chance to win!

  124. I am highly optimistic about 2021. I am hoping for a good amount of positive things to come.

  132. I’m feeling somewhat optimistic but also a little nervous about what the year will bring

  136. I am feeling apprehensive that this new year is not going to be much different than the last 9 months have been.

  137. I started out positive and hope. I was looking forward to it, now I’m starting to feel more unsure, but trying to stay positive.

  138. It’s just another year. It’ll be whatever we make it, so I’m feeling hopeful.

  141. I am feeling hopeful about 2021. I’m hopeful that we will get the covid number down this year and start to get back to normal.

  144. It’s been weird so far. I don’t know how I feel about it. Not much has changed for me.

  145. Honestly, I am praying for the best yet, I know things may get worse before they get better.

  146. I’m hoping 2021 will be better but it’s not looking good so far what with Covid and all the government chaos that is occuring.

  147. Well since 2021 started with Covid restrictions, it’s been hard for me to get anything done…can’t find assistance and can’t travel. I can’t even go shopping without a mask which makes me want to throw up. Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s holidays really didn’t exist, so all I can do is sit and watch television.

  148. I’m hopeful that 2021 will be much better than 2020. Keeping my fingers crossed 🙂

    (Thanks for the chance to win!)

  149. Im hopeful that 2021 will be a better year – its not starting off great, but it cant be as bad as 2020!

  153. I feel like we are in a tunnel, there is a glimmer of light at the end and we just have to keep onto the right track to get out!

  158. Im feeling sad. Im usually a pretty optimistic person but realistically I don’t see anything improving but actually getting worse… 🙁

  166. I am anxious still but trying to be optimistic, and thinking positive thoughts. Time flies by but can also feel slow.

  168. Didn’t start out so good. A close friend lost everything in a house fire but they are ok

  170. I can only think that 2021 will be better than 2020, but so far it has been exactly the same.

  174. I’m feeling really optimistic for 2021! I was lucky to make it through 2020 fairly unscathed personally. Lots of anxiety for sure as I finally had my rainbow baby this past fall after many years of infertility and multiple losses. I’m looking forward to hopefully being able to get out a little more and hopefully my loves can finally meet this baby!

  192. I am hopeful for the new year! The vaccine is finally here im crossing my fingers that anyone who wants to be vaccinated will be and we can all try to get back to some sort of normalcy! Happy new year everyone!

  193. I am feeling hopeful as well and praying that 2021 will put us on the path to better health, economics, and closer to a newer normal since Covid started.
