When I did this post last year, I stated that it had been a tumultuous year (a bit of an understatement).

2021 brought it’s own share of ups and downs and the world continues to struggle with the Covid-19 pandemic, the rise of authoritarianism, and the pervasiveness of conspiracy theories.

I hope everyone is finding things to be joyful about in these uncertain times.
