ANNOUNCEMENTS: There was one but I forgot what it was.
COT: The words “even Switzerland” made an impact on me when referring to economic sanctions on Russia, as a country that participated even though their history is being neutral. What do we stand for, what is our identity, etc that if someone said “even YOUR NAME” is doing this or not doing this, that it would carry weight.

COT: I think it’s easier to start new habits than to break old ones. As for my own bad habits, I’ve always been deeply cynical. The first thing that comes to my mind is usually – what’s the catch, how could this go wrong, what indeed IS the worst that could happen? When I don’t keep my mouth shut, I sound like a snarky smart-ass. Given that I’ve probably offended all of you at some point. I apologize. And I am trying to develop a new habit of keeping my mouth shut -well, at least occasionally.
As for my underlying inherent cynicism, I have worked for years to cultivate the habits of gratitude and awe. It seems like little things. Smile to myself every morning when I realize I am not dead and a new day is beginning. Get outdoors, smell the wind, listen to the birds, take time to appreciate experience of being alive. I find it helps restore balance in my life. I hope you can make a little more time for gratitude and awe in your own.
