Every year begins with much hope as the "new" year takes off like a tourist on a jet plane. Unfortunately, as much as we wish a new year meant a clean slate and doing away with all the bad & forgettable issues of the previous year, we all know that reality is much different. The tourist eventually returns home and finds it all just as he left it!

Last year brought many new challenges and adversity into ALL our lives. Even if you are fortunate enough to not have had anyone in your family affected by COVID-19, it affected, and continues to affect all aspects of our lives.
