New Beginnings

There's something about getting older (and ever wiser) that makes you stop to take stock. Add to that the somewhat surreal but no less devastating and dangerous new world with 'no-world order' (to quote Christiane Amanpour) that we now inhabit for some much-needed perspective.

I want to take a minute to acknowledge the sacrifices made by our armed forces and their families, by our diplomats and their families who nowadays seem to find themselves in the crosshairs of every second under-employed troll in the land. And to then turn to you and ask, how are you getting through this?

Share your comments and feedback as long as you can be courteous to each other (here or email a reply or send me a message on social, which seems to be the default).

We'll take a beat and then move on. Till then a flower 🌺.
