I had a thought while getting to sleep the other night: these are the good ol’ days. Even with the pandemic, even with the hardship being faced everywhere... we still have much to be thankful for. As President Obama described toward the end of his second term, if you were given the choice of being born in any time in history, you would choose right now. We have so much to improve in our society, but we still enjoy collective freedoms and conveniences never before experienced. It can be hard to see that when the world appears so bleak, but see if we must. The struggle is part of the journey, and at some point in the future a look back will bring either nostalgia or satisfaction. Nostalgia if the times really aren’t that bad; satisfaction if they were and we still got through them. Another day above ground, another day breathing. Let’s not forget to treasure the simple things.
