What do you think was the biggest news event this past week -- either in your community, nationally, or globally? Talk about why it’s a big deal.

<strong>News event? My husband and I are all news all the time. My close friends avoid the news.</strong> I am compelled currently to listen and make sense of how this country is doing. The news:<strong> stats as to deaths in US - that dwarfs all other news.</strong> I will post the compared stats on the next optional photograph upload. I try to look at the positive side so first<strong> for this space I posted my Biden/Harris flag - yes we Dems have political flags too! </strong> The “soul of our nation” is also the title of Historian Meacham’s book I am currently reading! The parallels with the Depression and FDR’s leadership over four terms are stunning.<strong> Over my flag, a pastel of a National Park</strong> hangs on the wall - I won 2nd prize for “professional artist” category ! I had shoulder surgery months before I created this very prismatic landscape! It was my first artwork post surgery. Miracles happen - Life offers our souls abundant joy.<strong> I believe we will emerge successfully as a nation!</strong>
