Surviving Dark Times

Xmas is behind us (thank whomever) but now we have a new kind of countdown to the new year–all the unfortunate casualties resulting from people acting like this was a normal holiday season.  Everyone suffers when a herd mentality prevails, including the young and heedful.

If you are reading this and have been affected by this terrible pandemic, I know it feels unfair, having taken all precautions and still being at the mercy of forces beyond your control.  Just hang on, and continue to protect yourself and others.  Vaccines are just over the horizon, and self-serving trumpsters will no longer be able to obstruct relief at every turn in the new year.

It’s hard to feel optimistic right now, but be patient, keep your guard up, and one day soon we survivors will be able to meet in person again.  That will be a very good day.
