CoT: A quick word of gratitude to the universe for the gradual normalization going on in our community, including the recent return to school (part time) for some of our kids.  For YHC, I’ve been overjoyed to see how well this went for my kids and family.  Also gratitude to the men of F3OP for bringing me in and helping keep my head right during a second long cold (covid) winter.

Great to see our newer members out there so consistently this week and a fun coffeeteria in force after the session today.  Great showing for the coffee and second F today.
