It goes without saying that this year has been full of many ups and downs, and unfortunately a few more of the latter than the former. However, I have always found solace during troubling times by focusing on the silver linings - after all, every cloud has one, as they say! One silver lining is that I have been able to keep communicating with my audience regularly with my blog.
