Hope For 2021

By

Well, 2021 has arrived. It sure has been quite the year. So much has changed, but, we have shown our resilience, our strength and our ability to adapt.  I will speak for myself and say, it has not been easy. I have shared, over and over, with you all that I have had such a hard time with my loss of freedom and space.  I would not do it differently, as my son needs me and I am lucky to be able to be with him. But, again, my creativity and this site have had to come second. I am working on ways to get my juices flowing again so I can write, as it helps me so much and I hope you as well.
