I am looking forward to attending Atlanta Bar events and CLE in person . I am looking forward to meet people in person , instead of email . I am looking forward to traveling again . I cannot wait to re-book my trips . I think the first place I will head to in 2022 may be Greece or Trinidad . Hey , if I feel up to it , I may go to Ireland later this year .

JOANNA J . SMITH ( LRIS & ATLANTA BAR BOARD ) Georgia Family Law Project , LLC
For my son to start daycare in the fall !
PETER H . STROTT ( LRIS BOARD ) Strott & Dillon , LLC
I came across this monthly planner titled , “ Best Year Ever .” It included much of the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic , making the title a little ironic . So , my response to the question is just what the planner exhorts : I am looking
forward to making the rest of the year the Best Year Ever . My method to do so is pretty simple – every morning when I look in the mirror , I thank God for the day He has given to me , I look forward to that day , I focus on being the best person I can be , and I do the best I can to help others . With this framework I am confident that at the end of the year when I look in the mirror , I will know it was the best year ever !
EMILY C . WARD ( ATLANTA BAR BOARD ) Smith Gambrell & Russell , LLP
To feeling like there are so many great events each week that I can go to – but only choosing one or two to keep my sanity !
