The new administration Biden/Harris is now on the clock. Let’s see how the next four -year’s fair. I am not a fan of Biden nor Trump. In all fairness, I should disclose that for the past two elections I have not experienced a clear inclination for one candidate or another.  I have cared less who won or lost. I have serious disagreements with many of the policy directions of both parties. I am a middle of the road and that is a lonely place to be. 

I do however, give each President the benefit of the doubt and pray for their well -being regardless of what party they belong. Based on Biden’s inaugural address alone, I am optimistic at the promise of unity, tolerance, and collaboration. I welcome the tone. One good thing of having a liberal President is that the media will treat this new president with courtesy and respect.  May we all find a way to live and work together in harmony. That is my prayer for this day. 

Con amor,
