On the cusp of 2021

We laughed

We cried

We zoomed

We baked

We missed

We gained

WE MADE IT!

They say that "hindsight is 20/20"

What is clear is that without a positive vision

things can look blurry or even scary

On these last days of 2020

let's look back and

say THANKS

for what "distance learning"

has taught us and

say YES

to what the new year will bring.

You can't choose your teachers: Mrs. Jones in 2nd grade

or that broken arm in high school or a broken heart in college

or the broken marriage.

But you can choose to learn from these teachers.

Back to school? You bet.

Today, every day, until the last breath.

Here's to a happy, healthier New Year!
