It’s time for My 2 Cents – and I want to start by reminding you that one day, sooner than later, this will all be over.
It’s important that we keep our eyes on the prize. A sense of anticipation can energize us and get us through tough times. So what are you looking forward to when all of this is over or even every day? I asked and you responded.

They say you never know what you’ve got until it’s gone and I hope we remember all of the things we missed once all of this over and never take it for granted again. But most importantly, I’m glad we have all of those things to look forward to.
