Who Will We Be?

We are days away from our presidential election and the tension everywhere is palpable. Any way you look at it, there are reminders about how this is such a big event. And yes, it will be but this whole year has been, hasn’t it?

So today I’m not here to talk politics or tell you to vote although yes that is important. I’m here to ask you how you want to remember this year and what it has changed for you and for all of us. We’ve certainly had a lot more time with our own thoughts given it isn’t easy or in some cases feasible to go out and travel or eat out with others. What have you thought about? What matters to you now?

These are big questions but then, there is a lot that’s gone on. Perhaps you’ve lost a friend or family member to Covid or you yourself have been sick. Perhaps you have hung out with close friends for months. How does it all make you feel and is there anything you want to change going forward?

I know we will get passed this some way or another, but I don’t know when that is and I’m not sure who I will be when we get to the other side. That being said, I’m a planner and if anything, determined to make the best of the challenges we’ve faced and those that remain to come.

Happy writing this week!
