Because… It’s 2020
Over and over this year I've heard "... but then we couldn't because of covid." or/and "of course that went wrong because it's 2020" But 2020 is nearly over. I could post a monologue about all that has gone wrong in my life. But the truth is, I'd rather look hopefully forward to changes. Someday … Continue reading Because… It’s 2020
