I am experiencing so many different emotions these days. It’s hard to know where to land with them, you know? I’m grieving. I don’t think we will be going back to any kind of normal we had before this virus took hold. I wonder if we will return to hand shakes or stick with smiles … Continue reading Feeling the Feels
