Do you remember what everyone was saying a year ago today? Things like “2021 is bound to be better than 2020.”
Well, here we are on the cusp of 2022 and some of the issues that made 2020 so challenging are still with us:
• the pandemic and its barrage of variants, and
• political division and continued vitriol, nearly 14 months after the presidential election.
Add to this the new problems of inflation and supply and labor shortages, and you have this year’s hope that “2022 is bound to be better than 2021.”
Hope is good, but resolve is even better. 2022 can be better by taking politics out of the pandemic equation, motivating Americans to return to work, finding ways to get out of the house, start traveling again and living life, and returning to the notion of “let’s agree to disagree” — and move on. We all deserve a better year. Let’s make it happen.
