Hope you had a restful, safe, and healthy holiday season. With COVID still very much with us, I'm approaching 2022 with cautious optimism, recognizing that we all have been through a lot and to have some grace for ourselves and others as we enter Year 3 of the pandemic.
Our New Year's Day tradition is to visit a local beach to start the year connecting with nature and the joy, strength, and peace it brings. This year, on our drive to the ocean, we admired the view of the snow-capped mountains across the agricultural plain.
I feel a patriotic song coming on.
Wishing you peace, joy, and strength in the year ahead.
