Today, the first day of December 2020, I began addressing Christmas cards. In a year marked by disconnection, distance and divisiveness, I feel that it is doubly important to let friends and family members know that they are held dear and greatly missed. Spreading hope, cheer and affection during this dark, unique time in history is vital. Hopefully, loved ones currently tethered by pandemic restrictions will be heartened when a holiday card bearing a handwritten note arrives in their mailboxes.

Well, when I saw the full page article in the New York Times about this Pandemic Journaling Project I almost jumped for joy. We are all being listened to! Our suffering and thoughts and fears are being recognized! One of the things about this project that really amazes me is that people all over the world who come from so many different backgrounds in so many different circumstances are experiencing the same feelings. I feel heard and comforted. Thank you!
