Christmas day after. The lingering peace of our quiet respite. The new year nudges us; our attention still kept yesterday, feels the beginning urge to turn the page, put to rest, lay aside the year that was. This has been a good year despite the constant drone of dread manufactured by our politicians, media, and technology. We are a good people, we’ve overcome a lot, kept our head lowered, and pushed through. We generally like our neighbors, America, modesty, peace, and goodwill. There is balm to be had as we begin the process of turning our will toward a new year. We can determine to actively tune out. We can hike more, read more, sing, visit, and create more. We can commit to look at our hearts more, investigate our true beliefs, and see if there is room for A Faith in our lives. We can be nice, let someone in line, move over, say “please, thank you, forgive me and I am sorry”. We can just determine to be kinder. If I have learned anything in this my 62nd year facing my 63rd, it is, i NEED HELP. It is something we all should daily confront ourselves with. We need help to be better. Who can help us? That is such a critical question but one we often fail to ask. The basic issue always remains the same, “How can Lee be moral?” I do hope you will find the will to begin anew to be a better you and the determination to find The One who will help.
