What a Year!

2020 – what a year!  This will definitely be one for the history books.  There have been some incredibly difficult and stressful challenges this year.  However, as I look forward to a (hopefully) sunnier 2021, it’s also good to reflect on what we can appreciate about 2020.  Wait, is there anything?  Well, for me, these are the… Read More about What a Year!
