Family is everything, enjoy the little things, and take a deep breath once in a while.

My worry right now is that school will get shut down or spring sports will be affected or canceled like the 2020 season. I have been coping by just hoping for the best and masking up!

I spent a lot of time with family and I got to spend more time on things that I enjoy.
