another day

I know we are all desperate for 2020 to be over. It's not an exaggeration to say this has been a year unlike most others, and we are glad to see the end of it. But the hard truth is that tomorrow is just another day, one that will bring thousands of illnesses, hundreds of deaths, and too many people struggling to work, to pay bills, to stay healthy in body, mind, and soul.

We have hope. We have faith. There truly is light ahead, if we can stay focused, stay empathetic, stay caring. But the odometer rolling into a new year isn't going to be a magic wand, bringing a Hollywood-style dissolve into a glorious new tomorrow, so it's important to go easy on yourself and not put that kind of pressure on you and on the flip of a calendar page.

Be safe, be smart, be kind to yourself and to others. May we have many more new years to come. ♥️
