How about? We’re finally through the last year. Enough has been said about 2020, so there isn’t a good reason to rehash all of the turmoil dropped on the Earth last year. Whether it was COVID, racism in all its permutations, or the never ending political rancor here in the United States, we all had a bunch to deal with.

This year, let’s work on some things. Maybe it really comes down to one thing.

WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER.

We can be more responsible in our efforts to prevent the spread of COVID. We can finally start treating all people, regardless of whatever category that is different than us, with the respect we want for ourselves. We can all understand that political parties can not survive on extremes, a win only mentality, or obstructionist governing.

Maybe if we all commit to making 2021 better for everyone by thinking about how the decisions we are making and the actions we are taking play a role in impact of society as a whole, just maybe 2021 will be better. COVID will be around. Racism will have to be dealt with. Politicians and voters will still have to learn to meet in the middle.

Be well, y’all.
