Hard decisions to make with the holidays. I can’t imagine in most of the country, where the weather doesn’t cooperate. Like in so many other ways, 2020 has forced us to consider the timelines of our lives. To make calculations we haven’t had to make in the modern world. How many Thanksgivings am I likely to have with my elders? How much will actual face time mean to my family? Can we make it longer, put off gathering until next year? These are hard choices in a bleak winter. If we are considering the consequences of our actions, I believe in the freedom for each person to make their own choice. Freedom isn’t easy, as 2020 and the coronavirus is proving. How we make our way from here is up to us.
