24 Festive Tasks: Door 15 - St. Nicholas' Day / Sinterklaas, Task 2 (Three Wishes)

6:15 pm 31 December 2018

My three wishes, as we close out the old year and begin the new one:

For myself: To be able to look back, at the end of 2019, and have preserved what I like in my life, and have improved what I don't like.

For the BookLikes community: Long may it survive, and I hope it will grow ever closer together! (Wish 1.a: Many happy returns of Halloween Bingo and Festive Tasks.)

For the world: A return to sanity, peace, justice, and (dare I say it?) wisdom. In everything from society and politics to the environment and everyday relations and communication. (And don't tell me that's more than one wish (again). It really isn't. But even if it were, I wouldn't care a rat's rear end.)
