The Transformative Power of Next – from Peter Sackett I invite everyone to consider that this is the operative word of the day – Next. It takes energy to live through one day of quarantine.It takes thought and consideration to care for ourselves and those we love.It takes momentum to push our thoughts to when our lives may return towhat they were a simple ten days ago. Thus, Next is what counts the most.  The next day.  The next moment.The next elbow touch and nod of hello.  The next call to a neighbor.  The next opportunity to smile. As we approach Shabbat this week, please consider how you canmake someone else’s life better.  Love is defined as holding the hand of someone in need. Make Next Time This Time. Shabbat Shalom,Peter
