Yeesh.
Let me open by saying I'm praying for peace in Ukraine and very much praying that things don't escalate. This situation is good for no one. War is acid on stability and relationships among and between people within the conflicting countries. Donate to relief charities if you are blessed enough to be in such a position.
A century ago, the nickname for its third decade was the "Roaring 20's". After the first two years of this century's third decade, I was wanting to it to ultimately become the "Boring 20's". Sadly, between the pandemic, ludicrous political divisions in the US, and now a land war in eastern Europe, I've landed on a non-rhyming, but at least alliterative, moniker: The "Trying 20's".
I was initially going to go with something more negative and flippant, but I think "trying" in two senses of the word aptly apply. This decade has both called us to endeavor to be better and to endure through its adversity.
The Trying 20's are here, and we all must move through them as best we can.
