COT

The men were quite open in sharing on “How have you changed or grown as a person in the last twelve months?”  For myself, I have enjoyed the simplicity of life, as so much activity has been stripped away to workout, work, meals and sleep, repeat.  Also, I find how I relate to people is improving as I cut slack for what a person can or cannot do or accomplish.  People are doing the best they can, and daily life in these circumstances is trying.  And at this one year point of the pandemic, I often feel my tank is empty, and I have nothing left to give.  I look forward to times of refreshment and the invigoration of this person’s leadership and service to the community.

Remain durable.

Remain resilient.

Maintain hope.

Stay strong.

Stay safe.

Stay sane.

Honored to lead,

Dos Equis
