As we look forward to the summer ahead, let us take a moment and find gratitude for what we do have. There has been a lot of challenges over these past fifteen months or so. Many have been life changing. We don’t know all that people have been through. Let us have empathy for those around us and offer simple words of encouragement that express that we are not alone. I know if we think outside ourselves, we can put aside the divisive thoughts and rhetoric. We must look for ways to work together and support each other. Let us embrace our collective heritage as being part of a bigger entity called the United States of America. Best wishes for continued good health and happiness. …. God Bless America! – Mark
