COVID-19 has been an incredible awaking. We had to stop! take a pause and look at life from an uncomfortable view point. Our lives. If we didn’t save any money over the years, we didn’t have any reserve money to spend. That must have been very scary for many.
Everything became uncomfortable. If we were afraid to be alone. Locked-down. We were alone and locked-down. We had empty refrigerators. Had to stand on long lines to ask for food. Who thought they would see anything like this after The Great Depression?
Well, no one had to take the bullet for someone else, i.e. parents couldn’t protect their children, partners couldn’t protect each other. COVID-19 did not discriminate. Everyone was fair game.
Now that life is beginning to return to normal, people are vaccinated, mask coming off, we need to take some time and understand what just happened and what are some changes we should incorporate into our new normal.
