Because, Stan, as you said, you know, to just be sitting on your hands and do nothing doesn't help our anxiety.

But I think the trends of what's happening is there is an awakening that's happening in the population.

And that awakening has to unfold and takes and takes time.

But I think we're seeing the direction that it's going in.

Barry.

I'm going to use the big R word, resiliency.

Absolutely.

Because you, you know, I mean, the positive part, and you said this earlier, the world, this country has been through difficult times before, and you do get through.

It doesn't mean it's not going to be painful doing that, but we are resilient as communities, as people.

as states, as cities, as a country.

And it does take time.

So we need both patience and some as well trusting in ourselves and doing what we can to take care of ourselves so that we can be more resilient.

And one way to do that is by staying connected.

Yeah.

Whether it be with your friends, family, neighbors, community.

that does build resiliency moving forward.

That's where I'm sort of putting my hope in, that we are going to remain resilient.

Actually, that's why I was just raising my hand is that we're kind of chomping at the bit to get into hearing all the stuff that Patty is doing and all those good things.

And again, I think for our listening audience and also for our panel members who were

in the podcast.
