Since we were going to have to be on the road for New Year's (traveling home from Arizona), we (the kids and I - Scott flew back for work earlier) decided to make it fun by going the long way and stopping in Alamogordo. Our old friends the Spencers were so kind to meet us at White Sands for some cold, uncomfortable sledding and then let us crash their New Year's Eve party at their house. I'm so glad/grateful we had a "home" to borrow and loved ones to be with on that big deal of a night. Saying goodbye to 2020, after all, was no side note or after thought. Everyone, including us, took hope and relished in the excitement of a clean slate and a new start. I pray that our society can recover from the anger and the ugly that Covid and the Presidential election (and just bad attitudes in general) caused this last year. I don't mind hard things, but in 2021, I hope we (all people) find reasons to come together rather than continually push apart.
