It can be hard to remember here, in the final, coldest months of winter, that our darkest days are behind us.
This has, of course, been a winter unlike any other – one in which we have somehow managed to spend even more time cooped up inside than usual.
But there is cause to look forward with hope and optimism.
Because the reality is that we are naturally inclined to wish for brighter futures, and to make changes today that will result in improvements further down the line. When “normalcy” returns, how many of us have already resolved to spend more time with friends and family? Or to become more involved in our community? How many of us have thought of new ways to appreciate the world, or even just our small little corners of it? Cognizantly or not, all of us, in one way or another, have started to prepare ourselves for a better tomorrow.
