Reflection

Happy New Year. This has been a welcome week of reflection - I spent the last evening of the year writing down my favorite memories from 2020 and thinking about my personal goals as I look ahead. As challenging a year this has been my gratefulness for just being alive is endless. To all those in my community that help make my life what it is, thank you for your love, support, humor, and kindness.
