This is when things start getting busy for us, and you. More of you are in the Valley now that the holidays have passed. And because of that, there are more events, more reunions, and more fun for you to have.

I recently came across an article on the importance of relationships and service and how they help improve your mental well-being.

Y’all are fun to be around and definitely brighten my day and often keep me smiling for days after you share what you have done.
