Sean…..why is there water in my eyes with so many of your posts….I am 54 with twins who will be 10 next week-a decade of being blessed to be a mother. Heartbroken by what has been unfolding in our country and how the hell it’s going to affect them. I have been an eternal optimist, or at the very least, a hopeless idealist. Thanks for providing a hopeful perspective on most of what is chipping away at it. The only thing I might add to this list would be our lack of importance placed on mental health. With it, we can raise children who might be more capable, and more balanced to make better decisions about how our future unfolds. I’m raising my kids to value it, to take precious care of it. But it feels like a pebble thrown into the ocean. I’ll stop here and marinate on the positive now. Happy Happy New Year to you and your family.
