I’ll be honest. When it came time to start on this week’s blog, chaos and confusion resulted. There is just so much rattling around me/us right now. Trying to write a clear and meaningful paragraph or two feels like heavy lifting, and this morning, I’m not forcing myself to do it.

Instead, I’m finding my bearings and resetting. And I have two suggestions for all of us concerning “shoulds.”

One. Think of something that you are feeling you “should” do today that you can set aside for the moment without causing harm to yourself or others.

Two. Find a quiet time today and read THIS, all the way through. Read it out loud if you can. On Wednesday, we are asking Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to pledge to “uphold and protect” it…perhaps a non-negotiable “should” in our lives is an annual commitment to at least read it.
