So difficult to feel hopeful this New Year's Eve

2. I keep thinking of my deceased mother as well. What she would do, what advice she would give me.

She was a young nurse during the polio epidemic so would advise a strict safety protocol, which is what I am doing.
And she would also tell me to be thankful for a roof over my head, food on my table, and good medical insurance.

She would also be tremendously happy about the vaccine, because she full well knows that it will save lives and end
the pandemic. So there is hope on the horizon.

Our mothers are not here with us, but they are still helping us! Their advice lives on.
