Reflecting, Adapting and Moving Forward

Here we are mid-January, time is flying by! As you start to realize how 2020 has impacted your life in one way or another, whether Zoom meetings with Coworkers, family or friends have become the new normal, wearing face masks and social distancing has become second nature, carrying hand sanitizer in your bag or keychain, and ordering Take-out or delivery has become part of your weekly family dinner plans. We have all adjusted and accepted that this is life, for now.

Change is hard for anyone in the beginning, but we are human and it’s okay to go through the emotions that come with it. Now that we have been facing the COVID Pandemic for a year, there is hope for a better year. Good news as you may have heard, the vaccine has come out, as mentioned in our previous post and has started to be administered to those on the frontlines and the elderly. They are currently working on getting it out the entire general public will be done so in Tiers.
