Kudos are in order for so many people right now.
Hats off to the Governor Hogan of Maryland and Governor Northam of Virginia for stepping up to lead when our president wouldn't, and to Mayor Bowser for being a strong and steady voice in the District of Columbia. The DMV region is in good hands all around.
Dr. Fauci has been the loan voice of consistency and reason in the daily briefings from the White House over the past number of weeks. He is a top infectious disease expert and the only one with whom President Trump has been willing to associate. However, Trump does not seem to have appreciated Dr. Fauci's recent warning to Congress about the dangers of lifting pandemic restrictions too soon, so their relationship could change.
Comedian Jimmy Fallon has been hosting his show from home quarantine, with his wife on the camera and his two young girls helping with signage and Thank You Note audio. Having tuned in fairly consistently over the past two months, I can attest to the gradual improvement and polish of his new format. Like the Channel 4 news team, he is consistently there for us during this pandemic.
My family has been a source of continual comfort and we are all pitching in to make this extended time together enjoyable. My school colleagues have been working hard and creatively to keep as many students engaged as possible. They are an inspiration to me daily.
William from Deloitte has been a steady presence at the TJMS Community Garden for the past two months, and because of him we have made noticeable strides with infrastructure.
Thank you to my writing cohorts as well. I look forward to reading your posts several times a week.
Life Lesson: Never underestimate the power of saying "thank you".
You've woven together some vital aspects of community, and your life lesson is such a great reminder of how improtant gratitude is.
