Once upon a time...........and now.
The passage of time is a funny thing.
If we aren't careful, we blink and literal decades have flow by.
Then add a global pandemic in which time stopped, crept, and then attempted to resume its normal pace.
Only we became stuck within its time warp.
We learned or at least felt things we had never felt before.
We treasured and harbored that which traditionally would have been so very fleeting.
We came to be different people, different types of parents, different types of learners, different in too many ways to count.
Now, we struggle.
We struggle to regain our footing on changed and disappearing ground.
We look around and see all that was, is, and has potential to be again.
We meet the future with new eyes, with new glasses, with a new heart.
How can we make it ALL better?
How can we bring the learning forward?
How can we treasure what has been as "change for the better"?
How can we share our new hearts?
How can we greet our old friend time again and learn to walk hand-in-hand?
