JUNIOR SCENE
Utilizing The Uncertainty by Lindsey Gulotta , NALJA Ex Officio
Hey y ’ all ! I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and
Christmas and had the opportunity to spend some extra time with family near and far , whether that was virtually or in person . Although this past year hasn ’ t been anything close to normal , I hope the holiday season brought you more appreciation than usual . For my family , we fortunately were able to celebrate the holidays similarly to the way we have in years past .
One thing I realized during our holiday celebrations , is that we were more conversational , in the moment , and a little more kind . This could have been a coincidence , but I think it has a lot to do with the uncertainty of 2020 .

This past year has shown me , and I ’ m sure many others , to not sweat the little things and to be appreciative of what we still have .

This past year has brought about a lot of challenges , but it has also allowed us to take a step back and re-evaluate what is truly important in our lives . I wish nothing but the best for you and your families this holiday season and hope you all stay healthy !
