 Happy Holidays Fellow Smithites!
I hope you had a blessed Thanksgiving holiday. We have so much to be thankful for, even in this Pandemic! I am always grateful for another day, my faith, health, life necessities, and support and love of family & friends. Thank you so much Smithites for being a community of giving back and being of service to others. Continue to be thankful for each day, to give and to serve. The world needs it! December already!
