Dear Neighbours,
A year ago, my July/August letter started like this: “Welcome to 2020, the year we have never needed so much practice in patience! Covid-19, gypsy moths, activism, personal financial uncertainty, and workplace uncertainty. Both the list and the time required for patience seem to be getting longer every day.” And here we are, a year later and I can probably say the same things, but I feel a different sort of hope. We have more tools and information to get through this, Londoners and Canadians have shown a resilience and adaptability that is truly inspiring. We will get through this and again I say a big thank you to everyone for continuing the battle! What have we learned? The importance of being vaccinated. Patience in dealing with tough and challenging times, rediscovered the simple pleasures of family walks and bike rides together, appreciating the peace and quiet of the beauty of nature, and getting to know our neighbours and our own backyards. What else have we learned? That we still need to advocate for and demonstrate respect in our attitudes and actions to each other, that listening is essential, that each battle is another step towards progress. From tragedy can come healing, but it must come from each of us in how we treat each other. We have a long way to go and so much more to learn. We will remember this time forever. We will find out what our children and friends have learned from us and about us. As we go into the summer, I hope that the sunshine and better weather will bring smiles back (even if still behind masks) and some peace and respite from the struggles of the past year. We have a way to go, we cannot give up yet, but may the summer of 2021 be a positive memory in the future! Just as last year, “As a city we face very challenging times now and ahead. It will require patience, tolerance, kindness and balancing of priorities as we navigate this difficult year. Hang in there! Remember to try and find one good thing each day!” Please call me at 226-927-0439, email at ahopkins@london.ca, or visit my website at annahopkins.ca. Peace be with you
