I, for one, am very tired of the infighting I see in a community I care for. I’m Irish Catholic by birth. Baptized Episcopal @21. Just me & several babies at the baptism.
I’m raising my kids Catholic, but I’m agnostic. For those who write, “you’re not even Jewish!,” you’re

This year has been extremely challenging for everyone, to say the least. And it has taught me many things, even though I hesitate to use words like “I” and “me.” It has nothing to do with me, but I am very grateful.
My biggest thank you is to my family and children, for sticking by me, even when I lost their confidence. And to a friend who took a chance on me, tried to help me, and put me in touch with someone who could offer me incredible advice.
I am also grateful that my father survived potential pulmonary embolisms and blood clots in his lungs after a hip replacement in August, almost passing in October. Then he survived Covid in November/December. I was barely holding it together at that point. Admittedly.
I feel for everyone who has lost a loved one during this extremely difficult year, and anyone who is suffering at this very moment. This year has been terrible, beyond words, all around. But when I needed it most, my boss gave me great advice... A very good person.
He said “There are still things to be thankful for.” And he’s right, even though it was hard to hear at first. There are still many things to be thankful for. These things may seem small right now, they may be very hard to see, but there are still things to be thankful for.
I personally am very thankful for the last 2 months. There’s no “tweet” that could do it justice, especially with how those months started. I wish you all the best in the year ahead. And hope that I’ll be of service, like all of those people who have been of great service to me.
All I can say is thank you, and truly mean it. That seems like a good way to start off this new year.
Even when times feel like they might be at their darkest. There’s always something to be grateful for.
