We are almost at the end of Q1, and after finally reaching the end of a tumultuous and dare I say “unprecedented year” there was a lot of hope for the New Year. The last couple of months however, have been far from ideal and nothing like a “new beginning” we were all praying for. There has been new COVID strains, an insurrection and most recently Winter Storm Uri that hit close to home. When you include all the broken pieces of 2020 – there has been a lot of grief. I was personally affected by it with the death of my father in August 2020, and shortly after that suffering a terrible leg injury and being forced to take medical leave from Oct thru Dec. 2020. I’m happy to report I’m back on my feet now, and just started weight bearing! It has been a journey, but I am doing so much better.
