Can you believe it has been almost a year since the coronavirus pandemic seemingly shut down America?
Who would have thought last March, when we went on lockdown, that there would still be restrictions in January of 2021? But here we are, and I think it is safe to say that the past year has been one of the most stressful years in recent history.
