For most people, 2020 has been one heck of a year, filled with challenges, struggles, and stress. For countless others, it has been devastating. While there have certainly been some pretty bad times in the past in our society, I never imagined that, in my lifetime, we'd be in a global pandemic with so many lives lost and so many people ill globally. Although we've been dealing with this for awhile, it's still numbing.

I hold out hope each day and look forward to getting past this. I know that day will come. I wish it would come sooner. Some days it feels like we're walking through a field of cold, wet, deep snow, trying to get to a warm, brightly lit cabin that we can see. It's miles and miles away...but we're getting there...one small, slow, grueling step at a time.

Yet, with everything that we've been faced with this year, I still try to focus on the blessings. Here are three I'd like to reflect on today:

For one, most of us have gained a new appreciation for the people and things that we may, sometimes, take for granted. There have been many heroes throughout this crisis...scientists working every day to create a vaccine and remedies, health care workers putting their lives on the line caring for Covid-19 patients, teachers teaching...using in-person, virtual, or blended models, grocery store clerks helping to ensure we have food and basic necessities... honestly, it's too many people and professions to list. I am grateful for each and every hero out there. I'm also very grateful, on a lesser note (but with gratitude nonetheless) when the grocery store has the brand of toilet paper, cleaning solution, tissues, and rice that we're used to buying. Even small wins offer comfort these days.

Second, so many of us have had to learn to be more flexible and willing to change, sometimes many times a day, and often at the drop of a hat. As humans, we're creatures of habit. Change is not easy on a regular day. During a pandemic, it's even more difficult. But there have been an immense amount of changes for many people. We've had to change the way we dine out...and often we've had to take out instead. Many folks used to working outside of the home are now working remotely. We can talk to people, but we're now wearing masks, and standing six feet, or more, away. There have even been curbside veterinary services. Those are just to name a few. So, for all the changes you and your family have had to make, give yourself a pat on the back. It hasn't been easy, most of us didn't want to have to change all of these areas of our lives, but we're all doing what we have to do anyway...and we're getting by as best as we can.

Finally, one of the biggest blessings we have is that we've woken up this morning...a wonderful thing that we all know did not happen for everyone today, God rest their souls. So if the turkey comes out a bit dry or burnt, if you're missing out on seeing family and friends in person because you've all chosen to stay safe at home this year, if you're not sure you'll have a job much longer because the business you work for is struggling just to get by...or any number of challenges, big and small, count your blessings anyway. I know it's not always easy, and sometimes it's downright agonizing. Still, it's important to have hope for better tomorrows.

Keep your eye on that warm, brightly lit cabin. While it has been and continues to be a journey, we will get there together.

From my family to yours, may your Thanksgiving Day be one of comfort, peace, and hope.

Maria
