A Wish As We Enter 2021…

Goodbye 2020!  This year has been hard.  As we continue towards the end of 2020, waving farewell in our rearview mirror, it gives some comfort to reflect on the moments of kindness of the human spirit. Let our hearts find comfort in the compassionate and back-breaking work of physicians, nurses, first responders, the tenacity and ingenuity of our educators, the patience of our grocery store workers and countless others. 2020 has highlighted the invaluability of every job, career, position; there are no small parts. Seconds before January 1, 2021 arrives, I wish I could click the heels of my ruby red slippers and say, “There’s no place like home” and things would return to normal, but that won’t be the case. We will still be fighting a pandemic, dealing with social and political conflicts, and a questionable economy. But let us continue to fight the good fight.  Let us renew ourselves, let us hold our loved ones close, let us stay in the arena.
