2 Years On…

2 years of Covid-19

Of no hugs

2 years of lockdowns

Of no hugs

2 years of mandates

Of no hugs

2 years of isolation

Of no hugs

2 years of restrictions

Of no hugs

2 years of bubbles

OF NO HUGS

Apparently the government’s are stating that Covid-19 is no longer a health concern and we can return to life as normal. But…. you knew there was a but… it’s hard to say if this is reality. There is yet another variant rising up at the same time that restrictions across Canada are lifting and yet anyone under 5 is still at risk. The immuno comprised, the elderly, those with anxiety.

I know. I know. The above sounds like a rant. So here is the twist. Let’s turn this around and see if we can find some positives. What did you learn? About yourself? About your talents? About your personality? About your Zoom face? About your family or your friends or your neighbours? Perhaps we shouldn’t open it up to what we learnt about our elected officials as then it will mean yet another rant.

So what did I learn? For me it’s that as an extrovert I can indeed spend time alone. Longer tracts of it that I ever imagined. And be content while doing so.

Outside the care home in our bubble visit

I know how blessed I am that my grandchildren could be our first bubble group and that we were only restricted for short periods of time. We have though, gone above and beyond the required restrictions, as we have little ones and elderly to keep safe. And now, well now, it is time to live with it and manage our own risks. Take the lessons we learnt above and carve out our lives again. In respect for those that lost their battles to Covid and for all those on the front line that fought it.

So what did you learn?
