The year 2020 is more than halfway through. I now feel the heat of summer, which is at its zenith and I realize that another winter is on the way. I wonder where this year has gone, we have gone through so much but life simultaneously feels as if it is at a standstill and as if it is going from 0 to 60 in 2 seconds...what a conundrum.

This year we have had to learn the art of social distancing. A trial for many. I have spent that time relearning the art of gardening. This is after all the international year the plant health.   

We have embraced new fashions - The Mask, I have seen some very creative designs!

We have improved our digital communication and meeting styles...

Many have lost loved ones, and are currently grieving, but I am sure they will learn to celebrate the lives of those loved ones instead of grieving their loss. 

but the year is not yet done...

I am sure there is more to come...

As humans we are strong, we are diverse, we are creative we are feisty and we are innovative, we do not accept...

we will overcome!!!
