Hard times are here. (I’m still optimistic, though; I'll explain why at the end.)
People are dying, running for their lives, and watching everything they’ve worked for go up in literal flames. And, because of technology, we’ve got a front-row seat in real time.
Energy prices are spiking, markets are volatile. Oh yeah, there’s still a pandemic.
On top of whatever personal stuff we have going on, that might pale next to the suffering of war but is still our burden to carry.
Sometimes, it’s just one thing after another and everything all at once.
What do we do? How do we deal with it?
I think it depends on the day. Some days, we’re overwhelmed and struggle to make progress. Other days we press on and focus on putting one foot in front of the other.
Some of us look to our faith for guidance. We also remember that humans are resilient creatures who have survived and thrived through some terrible times.
We remember that we’re not alone.
