Happy New Year!

Happy New Year ๐ŸŽ‰ to everyone in this awesome Dev.to community, It's been a great alternative to other blog platforms. I also would like to thank everyone for reading and following me this year. When I started I had a goal of reaching 500 followers at the year's end; I've now reached 2800 followers! Thank you all for taking interest in my writing and being a wonderful community. I hope everyone has been relaxing and enjoying time with families and loved ones this past week.

See you all in 2020! ๐Ÿฅณ
