HARD WORK/KNOWLEDGE: PATH TO THE FUTURE

It is hard to believe that we are about to ring in another New Year but we are. In this past year we learned of the death of friends and family and of national, international and local notables,  We enjoyed moments of joy and accomplishment in education, science and sports.


We heard and acknowledged the calls to improve the process of fair and equitable justice and began to do something about it by taking action that will continue. We have come down and off the roller coaster of elections and financial upheaval and uncertainty.  Societal, environmental and atmospheric discoveries and changes have been made even as we reveal our misgivings about where these changes were going or how would we deal with them?

 We are mindful that at times we may seem lost at sea without the human energy drive to overcome fear as we navigate the uncertain  shoals of change but we need not be.

As we welcome 2017 we need to move on.  Life is not a  "tweet." It is a pathway to secure a future
that acknowledges knowledge, science and technology that takes us to the hard work of dealing with change which we can and will make.

May the Year 2017 be a discovery of  patience, respect and humility for all of us..
