Some Good News Before the Last Stretch

As we head into the last week of session, it is important to recognize some of the positive things happening around us. The snow and rain will help replenish our watershed in the high country and bring drought relief. This late snowfall will greatly help the landscape of Colorado. It will also help with the pending wildfire season and is something many of us have been praying for.

On Sunday, we celebrate Mother’s Day. It is a beautiful day to give thanks to mom and thank her for all her love. Thank you to all the mothers who give so much of themselves to support and care for others with strength and compassion.

Congratulations to all those graduating students across Colorado this week. Many Universities and High Schools are holding commencement ceremonies, and these milestones represent years of dedication and hard work. You should be proud of what you have accomplished. It is a steppingstone as people move onto their future careers and success. I wish you the best in your endeavors. Next year, I am looking forward to celebrating this moment with my own family as our oldest graduates college and receives his commission in the US Army, and our other son graduates high school and pursues his college dreams.

As we move into the last seven days of session, we are staying focused on finishing the week strong. There is still a lot of work to be done, but it is just as important to take a moment to appreciate the progress and positive moments along the way. Thank you all.
