Opinions & Observations- Matter of Fact: A time for thanks
BY JAY BROWN
It is that time of year when people reflect on all they are thankful for, but 2020, with all its challenges, has made that exercise a challenge in itself. This certainly has been a year unlike any other in our lifetimes.
Here in the United States, the coronavirus has led to hundreds of thousands of excess deaths, millions becoming sick, and tens of millions out of work. Some have lost far more than others, but we have all faced difficulties. I know that I am thankful for the friends and family who have helped me feel better during these trying times, even when we cannot see each other in person, and for the teachers and school administrators who have kept educating my kids, even when they are unable to be in the same room.
