We have a new President!! And there is hope for a vaccine! I, for one, am trying really hard to fight off the sadness of not seeing friends and crappy thoughts of what the holidays will be like this year. As we head toward Thanksgiving, I have to say that I am thankful for all of you and the fact that my connections via phone, FaceTime and Zoom have helped me form a new normal that gets me through the day. Positive thoughts and positive things … I say that to myself every day!!
