As we begin 2025, there seems to be so much discourse and unwillingness for people to talk and have a civil discussion about our differences. Maybe it is time to stop concentrating on what our differences are but talk about what we have in common. Do we all want a healthy environment for our children, grandchildren and pets? Are we concerned about the quality of our food, air, and water? Should we have a better health care system? What about the education system? Are we happy about all the above or do we need to work together to make sure that those in charge are working for the benefits of us all? Time to regroup, come together and move forward.
