Dare to be great!

Much has changed in the last 60+ days.  In addition to the health and safety aspects of COVID 19 our lives have been disrupted, our financial stability shaken to its' core and in many places our government has assumed power that was never intended for them to posses.  Entire industries are on the verge of being destroyed and the millions of jobs that they provide along with them.

I would like to believe that as a resilient people that we will rise to overcome this disease, the harm that has been done to our economy and that our liberties will once again be restored.  In addition, I would like to believe that as we have learned new ways of doing many things and that some of this can be turned to create new industries and jobs.  It seems that new protocols are being established for research of infectious disease and the follow up measures including vaccines.  Wouldn't it be great if the same flexibility were extended in the research and treatment of Cancer, Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's Disease, MS, Muscular Dystrophy, Heart Disease and more?  I have always believed that American Ingenuity is unduly restrained by regulation and have also believed that as a nation that we are capable of achieving anything that we decide upon.  Growing up in the 1960s I was a witness to the growth our our Space Program with an idea of a trip to the Moon nothing more than a pipe dream in 1958 to an accomplishment of a Moon landing 11 years later. 

As we begin to evolve in our way of life and re-establish our daily routines let's aspire to great things once again!
