Editor’s Note
Getting By?
Joseph Thomas For most of 2020, it has felt as if we are all just getting by. Facing job losses, health scares and an altered state of pretty much everything! It has been scary and daunting and mostly exhausting. I join ASUN Chancellor, Dr. Sandra Massey, in Thanking every essential worker, every College and Public School faculty member who donned a mask all day for our children this year, and all of you for getting by, so we may all thrive yet again in this troubled country that is still so full of potential and kindness between the headlines and above the hate, judgement and violence. Please read on as we give you well penned articles by our terrific panel of writers you have come to know and love, such as: Dr. Sandra Massey, Michelle Foshee, Robert Montgomery, Nelson and Sandy Barnett, Randy Chlapecka, Caroline Beauchamp, Kimberlee Thomas and Leigh Keller! We hope for us all, a wonderful season of giving, of shared thanks and simply enough time together. Take every hug that is offered, when it’s safe, and sit for that extra twenty minutes of healing conversation. We are thankful for those who pulled through this year and for the memory of those we held so dear in our lives that are no longer with us. May the feasts of time and connection leave us sated until our next opportunity to be together.
