Things in the night are all around us, baying at the door and windows.

A great many of us are not going to have a happy new year.

So what can be done when nothing can be done?

Hope still lies within us, but hope is the worst, hope is a bitter small fragile thing that just when you think you have it, escapes further away.

But if you need it, i have hope here for you, it's not much; it's small and fragile, but I want to share it with you that somehow, someway, we can be better.

The 2020's are going to be interesting times.

We are cursed with living in them.

We can survive.

We can thrive.

I love you all and I can't say enough, I'm so worried for so many of you right now.

But I'll be right here, with all the hope I can manage stored up if you need some.
