I was going to start with a “Happy Thursday!” greeting but, that isn’t appropriate considering the way things are going. So a simple hey y’all will have to work for now.

Never in a million years did I believe a pandemic could or would disrupt life like this. I am someone who shudders at the thought of history(anything pre-1991) I’m serious.

For me it used to look like this, I’d have lots of dreams mixed with high ambition but with no concrete solid plan on how to achieve them. So when things got tough I’d give up.
