Who would have thought Northern Ireland  would be one of the more peaceful places to be this year. It is frightening to see the riots  going on in different cities. People are really stupid, as soon as the loot and damage stuff the message they are trying to get out to people stops being heard. Sad for those just trying to get on with life and the kids damaged  from the fear as they hear and see what is going on around them. Be careful out there folk - stand up for what you believe but make sure you do it in a way your message is heard.

There's an island in the distance, I hear its beautiful... The water crystal blue... Waves so gentle... Sand so soft... The breeze blows gently, the palms sway back and forth... That island is just up ahead, keep heading north... Large grey rocks and deep blue waters will lead you to that island...The island of forever.... Where the maybes don't turn into never,and dreams never become doubts... See it in the distance, it looks close enough to touch. Smell the salt in the air.... Drift away... Let it all go... Let it all go there...Safe and sound, leave all of your troubles behind... Get to that island... Get lost in time. In a time where everything is nothing and nothing is everything...The island of lost dreams and broken sorrows.. The island of hope and shattered promises. Full of beauty, full of lies, full of enchantment.. Yet, full of cries...Cries of disbelief, cries of laughter, cries of heartache, cries to just escape... Escape from all insanity to sane or from sane to insanity. The island... Is pure vanity..Step into the water so peaceful and serene... So crystal clear and warm... So unsettling but enticingly inviting Let it invite you in...Going further out... Its getting deeper.. But the island... The island is just up ahead. The current growing stronger that beautiful water getting darker.. Nothing surrounds me now.. No light.. No sound...Deep darkness below me and all around, I'm growing weaker.. My arms and legs tired. Don't think I can go much farther but the island, the island is so promising. I've got to get there, someway somehow.. I can not give up now... Please not now..All of my hopes,dreams and effort have been put into getting to this island...The island, so full of beauty, so full of grace, I've got to make it to that peaceful and wonderful place...I catch a final wind, a breath of that salty air... I can almost taste it, am I almost there? A sudden urge to swim faster... But my legs just keep getting heavier... I just can't swim anymore....The island... But the island.. In the distance... Just up ahead...Out here in the deep... My arms now weak.. I try to cry out.. My voice.. My voice won't speak..I begin to sink... All of the salty air I once breathed... Is now set free... Now I belong to the sea...The sea of broken promises and empty dreams. It has gained another lost and once hopeful soul... Trying to reach her dream that lies just beyond the sea.... Her dream to just catch a glimpse of that island.... That island…

I remember  in the 70s  being asked how did we think we would be in 2020. Well no one guess it right, that's for sure. As televisions went from black and white to colour and more channels  happened, there was such changes. Phones in the home became more common until it was the normal thing to have From fax machines to pagers, moving on to mobile phones to the internet. So many amazing things, it should have made us better. After all, we could be in contact with so many more people, talk to new folk around the world. Yet having things like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc... It has made us more selfish, more demanding, more lazy. The more we get the worse the human race gets. What happened to us , it was meant to make us better.

I seen a rant on my RL Facebook from a person who can't go lay by a pool for 2 weeks without having to  follow Covid19 advice for that country. They have now decided not to go and complaining about the money they paid for it all. I get they are sad they can't go relax for a few weeks but then again is it better not being safe. The same person moaned about not enough people wore masks and how the government need to do more to protect us all from this virus. It really is a hard time for so many, some countries seem to be getting better, others are rising and a few look like they are on a second wave of this thing.  It was for them mad to book and pay for a holiday and expect to fly off into the sunset and  have no problems. Stay-cation is the thing this year. Each country we live in as its good and bad points. Maybe this is the year we get out and enjoy the good stuff more, spend out money more local and try helping ourselves.  Self-catering, a caravan or a B&B might not be the hotel you wanted but it can be fun, that's if you let it.
