Peace is on the horizon. 

Today is day 304 of quarantine. In 44 minutes, VP Pence will announce the results of the electoral college vote. We already know the results, but the POTUS is still expecting him to fudge the answer. Silly. In any case, the current POTUS is out in 2 weeks and a new President and VP will start moving things in the right direction. Congratulations to our new GA Senator Reverend Warnock! The Ossoff/Purdue election is not quite done yet. Stay safe. Stay healthy. Wear a mask. We are all getting through this together.

    Today is day 299 of quarantine and we are just starting to see the cases coming in as a result of Christmas gatherings and won't see the spread from New Year's for another week or two. Thankfully, the vaccine has rolled out. It isn't getting distributed as fast as the CDC had hoped, but I'm hoping that they get organized in the upcoming weeks. 

    On a different note, 2021 is finally here. While 2020 was a cruddy year, I did manage to write a graphic novel, create 86 of these free coloring pages, and crochet 27 hats for Cancer patients. Just trying to look at the cup half full here.

    This Tuesday, will be the Senate runoff here in Georgia and the country will be watching to see which way the state goes. I imagine that it will be close. All I know is that I early voted, so I let my voice be heard. If you haven't voted yet, please go vote tomorrow. President Elect Biden and Vice President Elect Harris will get sworn in 15 days from today. Stay safe. Stay healthy. Wear a mask.

Today is day 294 of quarantine. We have an election for the senate runoff on January 5th. We have a new President and Vice President getting sworn in January 20th. The vaccines are getting produced and distributed - slowly, but it is happening. I'm ready for 2021! Stay safe. Stay healthy. I will continue to create free coloring pages until I hit 100. I'm not sure after that.

Today is day 292 of quarantine. New Years is only a few days away and I'm ready for change. I'm ready for the vaccine to get to the rest of the essential workers and those who are immunocompromised. I'm ready for super spreaders to STOP and realize that they need to see the forest for the trees. See the big picture. Their selfish acts impact the entire community and beyond. My community lost a teacher to COVID19 on Christmas day. I didn't know him, but I know that we don't need the teachers to be forced to be in the classroom risking their lives. Students can learn from home. Teachers can teach from home. My condolences to his family and friends and students. Stay home. Stay safe. Things need to change. January 20th can't get here fast enough. Bring on 2021!

Today is day 287 of quarantine. The numbers of new COVID cases each day are terrible, and my stress level is high, but I feel this small bubble of hope. I have friends in the medical profession who have received the first dose of the vaccine and while I probably won't be able to get it until well into next year, this still gives me hope. A feeling that there is a light at the end of this long, dark, and scary tunnel. I hope you all feel it, too. I am soo sorry and sad about all of the moms, dads, brothers, sisters, and friends, who have been lost this year. I have lost people, too. Be thankful if you and your family are well. Reflect on what you have and on who you have. Be safe. Be strong. Have hope.

I love this time of year because of all of the lights. Hanukkah candles and Christmas decorations in my neighbor's yards with twinkling lights always give me a feeling of hope. It's day 280 of quarantine and the COVID numbers in our country are worse than ever, but with the new vaccines rolling out, there is HOPE that by this time next year, maybe, life could look a little more normal - it may be a new normal, but I'm hoping that we can see friends and our children could go to school in person. Happy Holidays - please keep physically distancing yourself from friends and family and everyone - but know that it doesn't mean that you have to be alone for the holidays - call, skype, zoom, and write. Stay in touch without touching. Be safe so that next holiday season, we have a greater chance of being with family and friends. Believe in hope for the future by staying safe and keeping others safe now.

Today is day 278 of quarantine and tonight is the 5th night of Hanukkah. The menorah that I drew for the first night has grown more branches and changed over time. The Hebrew term Etz Chaim means "tree of life. I've always loved artwork depicting different versions of the tree of life, but this season, I am particularly drawn to it. Stay safe. Stay home.

HAPPY HANUKKAH! 

(first night is tomorrow night, 12/10/2020)

Today is day 273 of quarantine and COVID numbers are bad so we are continuing to stay home and looking forward to lighting our menorahs tomorrow. This tree of life menorah is in honor of the hope that this holiday brings for life, for survival, and for celebration of getting through a difficult year. Stay safe.

We only had a few flakes fall in Georgia last week, but I thought this would be a fun page to do anyway for day 271 of quarantine. Stay safe!

Today is day 264 of quarantine and it is the Monday after Thanksgiving weekend. This has been a crazy year and with all of the vendor fairs cancelled, it has been a challenge for many artisans and craftsmen to connect with their customers. Head to Etsy and read announcements and the about paragraphs to see why they create what they create. Hit the heart button on your favorite items. Many, like me, are offering free shipping. Consider supporting the artists and giving friends or family a handmade gift this year. 

My shop is called Doodling Rocks and can be found at: www.etsy.com/shop/DoodlingRocks.

The other 77 free coloring pages are on my blog at: https://alisonhertz.blogspot.com/

Today's new coloring page for Pandemic 2020 

page 77 is a worksheet. 

The first page below is what I'm thankful for. 

Below my page is a blank with space for you or your children to draw a picture of what you are thankful for and below that is a blank with lines for you or your children to write what you are thankful for. 

Think about it. It has been a strange and tough year, but we have things to be thankful for. Today is day 259 of quarantine for my family and my neighbors. Video chat or call your family and have a happy Thanksgiving. We will all get through this together.
