Whether you are celebrating Easter, Passover, or Spring this weekend, do remember to connect with your family and friends via phone, skype, zoom, whatsapp, or facetime. I can’t express enough how a simple hello and light conversation is keeping me sane during these dark times.

“Spring will come and so will happiness. Hold on. Life will get warmer.”
