			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Now would be a good time to buckle your seat belt, simplify, and hold tightly to those you love most. It&#8217;s time, my friends, to relearn gratitude and appreciation for the things we do have. Fear leads to terror, so let&#8217;s practice hope and generosity.  This collective change that we are somehow impacted by can and will be a good thing for all of us. But it will get worse before it gets better. I know I sound like a goody goody, but I promise that I have felt the pinch, too (my husband was laid off, my company is needing to be more creative, the school district is threatening to shorten my daughter&#8217;s days in school even though she&#8217;s already on 1/2 day kindergarten and only attends 4 days a week). I have hope.</p>
