Each morning I wake up and scroll through the news. My job is to be informed so I can communicate and collaborate with my colleagues and our members.<\/p>\n

If you have been online even for a few minutes a day, its hard not to be smacked with depressing news. I am surrounded by family and friends who farm or work in a business that relies on Wisconsin agriculture. I\u2019m concerned for my counterparts as they battle this pandemic. Around this Easter holiday, I have been trying to balance my worry with reminders of my blessings.<\/p>\n

 \u201cSometimes we must look outside our own backyards to realize how big the world is and how blessed we are.\u201d – Eugene Nathaniel Butler.<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This Sunday is a day where many families normally come together to celebrate. This year will be different for most with the Safer at Home Order in place.<\/p>\n

I wanted to share a few things I am thankful for. My hope is that it helps you to reflect on your blessings during these stressful and negative times.<\/p>\n
