Spring brought the ongoing pandemic along with many life-altering modifications. Then, summer saw social divisions resurface and escalate. And fall culminated in a contentious election season.

On a personal note, I鈥檓 thankful for the love and unwavering support of my family and friends. I remain particularly thankful to be a citizen of the United States of America.
