368 - My 2021 - 100 Day Round 1 - Pink Slash Pockets

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Happy New Year 2021! We did it! We made it through 2020! When I look back on 2020, there is of course the pandemic, and all of the things that were unexpected, not desirable, and even terrible.

My Pink slash pockets remind me to make time for hobbies and relationships that are important to me. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When I looked at my Pink slash pockets in my Sunday Basket® the other day, I realized I had not changed them at all during the pandemic.
