It's necessary now and then to stop and reflect, something we all had plenty of time to do in the early months of the pandemic.

And though some major problems became more apparent, which we still need to continue working on, one can also appreciate that maybe the pandemic was the great big reset button the world needed to improve the many things which were otherwise being overlooked.

Here's hoping we remain proactive in continuing to make the world a better place.
