Maybe it ’ s just me , but the period
between Labor Day and Thanksgiving has felt like what I would call the Longest Shortest
Time . This isactually the name ofabeloved podcast about parenting by North Jersey resident Hillary Frank , but Ithink of that title often todescribe the way Iexperience the passage of time these days . With our weather , CINDY politics and public health conditions in astate
SCHWEICH of flux , days can seem long , though weeks HANDLER go by fast . It ’ s hard to remember where , when and how you last saw friends and loved ones . How do you cope with this crazy season ?
If you ’ re Wayne resident Jason Robinson , you continue your work with Three Fifths Foundation , the nonprofit he launched topromote social justice . If you ’ re Robbie Felice , the James Beard Award nominee and chef / owner of Viaggio in Wayne , you show flair not only inyour cooking , but in your personal style choices . If you ’ re former NFL cheerleader Tiffany Chantell-Rosania , you apply your can-do attitude to the future , as you ’ ve done in the past , toovercome obstacles and prevail .
Their experiences and ideas remind me that if the will is there , people will stay connected with each other and get the job done , despite challenges . By focusing on family , friends and learning , we move forward together . Happy holidays , Wayne .
