Today is May 1, 2020: I wonder exactly how this month will play out? Will it be politics as usual for our elected representatives? One party against another? Or will they truly consider what is best for our nation's peoples? And will our people truly consider the decisions of our leaders as being the best possible decisions in a difficult time? Or will the people see political leaders making decisions that accrue power to themselves? And following any lifting of restrictions that have hampered our freedoms to travel, to work, or to gather together, will we be able to pick up the pieces of our lives and create a new positive lifestyle? One that will help not just us, but our communities to recover and rebuild? Just as the flowers are once again blooming and bringing beauty and joy to many, may we do our part to bring beneficial changes to the lives we touch. I have chosen a photo of flowers on a type of grass, each flower is smaller than 1/16 of an inch, but they add to the beauty around me. Our efforts may be small, but they add up.
