Our lives have dramatically changed over the past few months. Returning to a near normal lifestyle seems way in the distant future. For many like the elderly, who lead a more sedate life, the changes have less impact than those who require school or work to complete their daily needs.
We are now given scenarios that call for wearing masks and restrictive activities that may continue for many months and even years ahead. Our choice is to abide by the directives of our government officials, or ignore their warnings and possible continue to spread this endemic plaque. We are all at risk, and the foreseeable future looks uncertain with the increasing daily tallies of new infections and deaths worldwide.
Still, life is enjoyable with our everyday pursuits of reading, studying, gardening, hobbies, personal sports, cooking, movies, dining and contributing to making a safer and more sustainable life.
