What a year this has been! From record numbers of coronavirus cases and rising unemployment to adjusting to a difficult “new normal,” life was hard. And in many ways, we’re still fighting. But like many others, I can’t help but bid adieu to 2020 with great hope for what the next year will bring and remember the shining moments of good that got us through this year together.
Amid the hardships and challenges, I have been heart-warmed by the resiliency of the human spirit. Healthcare workers on the front lines, giving comfort and saving lives in the face of a deadly pandemic. School teachers finding novel ways to keep our children engaged and learning. Business owners adapting to stay open while keeping their customers and employees safe. Neighbors helping neighbors in need of supplies, comfort or a helping hand.
