Thank you

Thank you 2020 for reminding me that I am one of the few lucky ones in the world.

I was fortunate not to lose any loved ones or have loved ones with lasting effects after their battle with the virus.

I was fortunate not to be without a home, or a home without heat and cool air and to have a home full of love.

I was fortunate not to have had to stand on a food line to feed myself or my family.

I was fortunate to be safe and not risk my health as so many essential working heroes had to do.

The year 2020 also allowed me to re-connect with friends and colleagues. Some colleagues become friends and some friends became brothers and sisters. I also made new friends and colleagues, who I hope to one day give a big hug.

I thank you 2020 for reminding me of how lucky I am.

PS Many years ago, I read the book, The Greatest Generation by Tom Brokaw. This book has always stayed in my mind and continues to remind me of how lucky I am.

Person of the week (really the year)

They are all the essential workers. The people that kept us safe … the healthcare workers, police officers, and fire fighters. All the people who conducted repairs after a storm so we could have our electricity and running water back. They are the people who kept our supply chain running, especially everyone who works at our grocery stores. They are all the delivery people who delivered millions of packages to so many people. They are the unsung heroes that we walk by on the street, and not knowing that they helped us throughout 2020.
