We can still win this!  Consider this your halftime pep talk.  There is a significant polarization among attitudes toward 2020.  This year sucks.  We need a 2020 do-over.  I am so over 2020.  Blah, blah, blah.  If you have mentally checked out over 2020, it is time to rethink opportunity.  Winning takes talent, hard work, and luck. Luck somehow seems to find those that work hard.  Winning repeatedly takes character.  Giving up is easy.  Quitting when times are tough can become a habit and a way of life.

It is convenient for people to blame current events on the decay of humanity.  It is tempting to see darkness and dwell on the lack of optimism.  Reports of rioting and looting are like a horrible train wreck that we cannot stop watching.  We can dwell on this negativity and allow it to stain our view of people, or we can look for the beauty in people.

I broke the rules. I’m guilty.  I attended a funeral.  I hugged the widow who was married for 42 years, and I shook the hand of a son that lost his dad. I hugged a grandson that plays baseball with my son.  He just lost his grandfather who he lived with until his death.  I know I broke social distancing rules but I couldn’t help it. I guess I stink at this new reality.  My need to show love overwhelmed my fear of this virus.
