As we begin 2021, I have some thoughts I’d like to share with you.

 

2020 was hard, no doubt about it. Our nation has been through a rough year, and we aren’t at the end of the challenges and obstacles yet.

 

But, you know what?

“You just can’t beat the person who never gives up.” – Babe Ruth

That’s really all there is to it! We just don’t give up, period.

 

Another way to say it is like this, from Thomas Edison:

“Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.”

One more time, and then one more time again, and again…

 

I can’t help but feel optimistic knowing that we aren’t going to just throw up our hands and give up. We aren’t going to give up on America, on truth, on our Constitution, or on each other.

 

It doesn’t mean things will be easy, or happen quickly, or that there won’t be setbacks along the way. What it does mean though, is that we will stay the course, no matter what, and we will never bend.

 

So, please join me in celebrating this new year and the new opportunities we will have together to fight for what is right, as well as for future generations of America!

 

Happy New Year!
