This past weekend’s Summer Solstice marked the longest day of the year here in the northern hemisphere and so the sun was well up for this morning’s final editing: I love seeing the sunshine and hearing the singing birds at the beginning of each new day. A solstice is indeed a time for reflection about what we want out of life and what we’re willing to do to achieve our goals. These days, one of those goals should be to stay healthy and safe during this continuing pandemic: that means understanding the dangers that still exist, being smart about what we each can do to limit our own and other people’s exposure to infection and respecting the health and well-being of others. While this Solstice marks the official beginning of Summer, let’s not take that as a license to run out and do whatever we want. With so many states both loosening restrictions and experiencing increasing numbers of new cases, let’s all be smart about releasing our pent-up energy while also doing what’s necessary to be safe. Celebrate the Summer Solstice the right way today.
