In just a few days, we celebrate the beginning of a New Year. It is time for 2020 to come to an end. (Do I hear a “Hallelujah”?) Traditionally, we evaluate lessons from the past year and make resolutions for the coming year.

So many of us reflect on 2020 and wonder how we made it. Ladies and gentlemen, you did it. We did it! We patiently endured and learned probably more than we can imagine. We have come a long way. It is a day to truly rejoice and be thankful.
