Happy New Year 2021!

These are unusual times; so many things are different from what they have been and what they should be. Still, I'm grateful for all the compassion and resilience shown in the midst of the chaos - and hope for more of both in the year to come.

Wishing you good health and lasting contentment in 2021!
