This has been the toughest, most stressful year of my life. Yet even within challenging years there are silver linings. I'll start and you guys can add.
- More people walking, hiking, biking and involved in exercise of all kinds.
- More pet rescues & adoptions than ever, and probably in many cases some better relationships with pets.
- People who would sit elbow to elbow at an event and never look up from their cell phone are now craving contact by Zoom. The irony is sweet, but perhaps the priorities will stick...at least a little.
- Separation from family and friends can cause us to treasure and wish to put more effort into those relationships. I hope it works out that way for the long term.
- I am a Coug. Even with all the political and other disagreements, that remains constant.
Of course that is only a partial list, and leans toward the ecumenical. But hey, it's a start!
