We are already half of the way through this year, people!! It’s funny because last year, I was already counting down the days until 2020 would be over…and oddly, I sort of find myself in the same position this year. It’s been a rough one. We’re all still hoping for better days ahead. Take care of yourselves, and stay healthy. Let’s look back on some better times, shall we?
