Sagely advise, Ms. Utah Savage! And a fantastic song choice to boot. The thing is, though...things haven't changed - in a broader manner of speaking, that is. Happy next year, as one of my commenters recently said. :-)
This is the year we all learn to be resourceful in ways we never imagined. New kinds of commerce will be popping up all over the place. Neighborhood coops are going to be important to encourage and support. We'll rely on friends more than we feel comfortable sometimes. We need to learn to accept the kindnesses of a meal, the plate of cookies delivered by the neighbor's child. Don't forget the shut-ins. We're all going to get there. Compassion and empathy are going to be needed and in short supply, since hardship makes generosity seem a sacrifice.
I hope for the better.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
