What is the biggest challenge you will face in the next six months?

View all responses

I’m at the age where some health issue could emerge, I suppose. Maybe something will come up in the lives of one of our kids. I’m hoping that the next six months just give us more of the same, which for me includes an almost daily wrestling with a never-ending, though often nebulous To Do list.

I’m hoping that the biggest challenge I face is finding ways to be useful, along with finding a smile– which, for various reasons, has been difficult for some time now. Or maybe the inertia surrounding church attendance will give way to more concrete action one way or another.

It’s hard to know for sure, but maybe to carry on as if I’m not bothered by what I see going on in the world; to carry on as if I have faith in humanity.

I know that’s dark, but lately– and for a while now— it’s been top of mind. I want to believe that we can acknowledge and learn from the past, be motivated by altruism and kindness on a global scale, but I suspect I will be challenged in fully embracing such optimism.

Sorry. I’d love nothing more than to be pleasantly surprised.
