The past few years have been a handful.

Most people are a little worse for wear. But in any situation, you can bring out a person’s best. It works for people you love, respect, and agree with, people you don’t, and everyone in between.

Treat them with dignity. Acknowledge their efforts, thoughtfulness, or help. Share gratitude and recognition like candy on a parade route.
