When contemplating this week's theme of "love," I first thought of my daily prayer to love each person in front of me. These days, it's mostly just my husband and my dog, and not so hard to accomplish. Things get hard when I move outside my home, which we'll all be doing before too much longer (I hope). In some ways, it's actually easier to love the stranger, though. The real trick is to approach every person with a loving attitude. When this pandemic started, I hoped that we would all learn to appreciate our communities more--and the people in them--when it was over. Almost a year in, though, my hope of a more loving approach to our neighbors is fading. There are still pockets of evidence, but the awful rhetoric surrounding the 2020 election and the fresh awareness of racial injustices continue to sting. If we practice loving attitudes, all good things will follow. This may be a naïve hope, but I never pretended to be otherwise. Let this be our collective will for the New Year: Love one another! --Janice
