I am not up to writing too much because I am tired, pooped. Want to keep calm. I have been watching so much CNN. In the middle of a pandemic we’re having our Presidential election. It is great that so many people voted. Now we just need to hang on until the winner is declared. It would help if some people did not act crazy, including our current President.
I have been reading a book before I go to sleep every night. Sometimes I get too tired to read very much. It’s ‘Hope Dies Last, Keeping the Faith in Difficult Times,’ by Studs Terkel. In in he talks with people from all over the country, some famous others not, and tells their inspirational stories. This book was published in 2003. Terkel died in 2008. I had forgotten I had the book and discovered it in a box tucked away in the garage. The title called to me because we are going through difficult times now. I helps to read about other humans who have met challenges with courage. It helps me believe that we will get through this.

I have hope for all of us, Deborah, that will be on the non-crazy side of elections and a pandemic in the coming year. Until then, we have to keep breathing and moving forward.
