A year ago I composed this photo as the world stood at the precipice of unimaginable change. This is my last memory of life before COVID took over our pale blue dot. My last memory that did not include masks, lockdowns and perpetual stress over where the world was heading. A year later, we are all still dealing with the impact of this tragic pandemic. There are however glimmers of hope in the numbers of vaccinations taking place around the world. For that, I am thankful.
