With that in mind, let us not look back over our shoulder at where we have been but rather, look forward to where we are going. We clearly learned how to live and survive in a pandemic. Just because the year changed from 2020 to 2021 does not mean the pandemic no longer exists. But, more importantly, as we arrive in 2021, we arrive with hope.

Good Riddance 2020
Post by : Admin on Dec 23,2020
One year ago this week, we had so much promise ahead of us as we prepared to enter into 2020. The year 2020 had such a nice sound to it. TWENTY-TWENTY. It was a year that sounded so futuristic back in the 60’s and 70’s. We had so much hope for what the futuristic 2020 would deliver to us.

Monitoring Depression in the Pandemic
Post by : Admin on Dec 18,2020
One of the nasty side effects of the COVID-19 pandemic is depression, anxiety and fear of the unknown future.

What used to be a quick trip to the grocery store ma...

The End of the Handshake Era
Post by : Admin on Nov 24,2020
Boys are taught from a young age the importance of a good handshake. A good handshake requires a firm grip and direct eye contact. It isn’t just guys who do handshakes. Ladies shake hands as well. We all have been taught some basic rules about handshakes. A wimpy handshake conveys that you really don’t care or that the handshake is not genuine or sincere.

Thanksgiving is the official kick-off of the holiday season as we head toward New Year’s Eve and say farewell to 2020.
