New year brings glimmer of hope for better days
Did you notice? No one was talking about New Year’s resolutions this year. Almost a year into the pandemic we don’t have enough bandwidth to do anything more than try to keep our heads above water. Resolutions are cheesy anyway, and soon broken. Good riddance.
There just might be something in the air that feels, dare we say it, hopeful. Sunrise is three minutes later than on the Dec. 21 solstice, but sunset is 14 minutes later, giving us a net gain of 11 minutes of daylight.
Speaking of daylight, we are in no way done with COVID, but vaccines? Daylight. The disease is rampant all over the country and it will be a while before we can begin to relax precautions, but there is a glimmer of hope that we are headed toward better days. In the meantime, we know how to do this, right?
