Good morning my delightful DU family,

I'm often awed by the ocean of talent here in DU. The incredible humor, wisdom, experience, passions, artistic expressions, the kindness, the humility, the gifts of love whose depths seem to know no limits, the generosity of your time, energy, ideas and yes, financial are so so refreshingly opposite of what stains the public square today.
Thank you.
Please have a day where these words leave you holding your head a little higher.
Love, John

It's been a real struggle. Feeling that level of helplessness and the underlying hopelessness is really hard.
If it wasn't for you guys, I'd be on the streets already and that's so hard to feel strong about.
Please don't mistake these words as lacking gratitude, because I'm so thankful for what you all have done for me. My fear is that it won't be enough.

I'm trying but it's really hard. I do pray your surgery goes well as well as your recovery.

I shared space with you in AZ from 2015 through 2020. I had the pleasure of working in Sedona during those years until COVID wrecked travel and leisure in 2020.
I loved my time there, minus all the Trump humpers lol.
Stay cool!
