The expression, âhindsight is 20/20,â is an idiomatic phrase thatâs been around for decades. Itâs also the punchline of a long-standing joke told by the emcee at the annual optometrist convention. Barely three days into the new year, the phrase has already become an overused social media post regarding one of the most (un)forgettable years in recent history. Looking back on 2020âs cringe-worthy habit of disappointment has me doing the opposite: looking ahead to only good things to come. Foresight is 2021! (Should I get that trademarked?) Eating black-eyed peas on New Yearâs Day for good luck and prosperity is a Southern tradition that has been around since the late 1800s. That tradition was brought to Colorado when my momâs Tennessee and Oklahoma-born parents moved to the Centennial State in the 1950s.
