It's already the 17th and I'm only now in the state of mind to write this. The start of the new year begins a new path forward. I've been known to take myself a bit too seriously, and after a year as we've had, I feel the weight of our collective souls pressing on my shoulders, weighing on my soles. I'm also a perpetual optimist. So these moments of reflection are just that. I'm mindful of what is going on around me as I try to understand it. Through that yearning for learning, I seek to craft a path basking in sunshine and the glory of humanity that I know is possible. Here's to putting our best foot forward this coming year.
