We are all coming to the close of 2020, a year that most everybody would like to put behind us, and forget. And for sure, this has been a pretty tough year for most of us. We are still in the midst of a pandemic, one that seems to be getting worse instead of better, and there really is no end in sight.
It has been a year of tough decisions, tough situations, and a year of changes. We here in our little part of the world have witnessed the worst, and we have seen the best. We have seen up close the worst parts of humanity, and then saw how we have the ability to show our deepest compassion to those who have suffered the greatest loss imaginable.
Now, in 2021, maybe it is time we see our greatest changes.
And, let’s face it, there are so many things that need to be changed.
The biggest change, and one that needs to be done immediately, is for everybody to start taking this virus seriously. I readily admit that I did not do that at the beginning back in the spring, but you can bet I am now. You should be too. If we are ever going to get past it, people are simply going to have to start adhering to the guidelines for social distancing, hand washing, and wearing masks. Period.
