Last evening as I was waiting to start teaching my Zoom class someone asked the group a question. “Does everyone have their pearls for tomorrow?” I answered, “No I don’t have any pearls because I left my strand in Seattle”
Several hours later I thought about a necklace I had. It actually does look like pearls.
They are not the real pearls I wanted, but they are the “pearls” I have. I will wear those today, January 20, 2021, Inauguration Day, to honor our new Vice President Kamala Harris.
The thought came to me, isn’t this like this past election, or any election when a person’s preferred candidates don’t win. They may not be the ones I want, but they are the ones I have. I will work with those officials for the next four years. This is what has helped us move forward as a country. Our candidates have not always won. However we’ve made do with what we had.
In these next four years I am asking my friends and any family that didn’t get their choice to join as family. If all you can do is make do, then make do. Let’s move our country forward and not backward. Let’s keep trying to form that more perfect union. This is our country the land that we all love. Like me and my second choice for pearls, let’s use what we have.
