With Nassau County having entered Phase 1 of the reopening I began to think about what going back to my office looks like for me. As I wrote in a past blog, I do not believe that I will be in my office five days a week as I can work efficiently from my home office. But I do need a presence in my Garden City office.
Tomorrow starts not just a new month. It’s also an end. A termination. A retirement of sorts. Maybe a beginning but I leave that for another time. I enjoyed it or endured it or perhaps tolerated it for more than a decade.
It accompanied me to many an event.
TV is still showing people hugging, holding hands, buying cars, and all this feels like telltale's of another era. Shall we ever go back to what looks now, retrospectively, like happy days?
We struggle adjusting to the new reality, but have faith that we will get through this together. Therefore, during this difficult and unprecedented time, we will continue in our role of supporting the Wellness Community, by bringing you timely information and expert’s views.
Some day we will look back upon these unprecedented times and the beginnings of new norms and habits.
Such a long view is not necessarily for me, but one thing has emerged for me.
I have converted my 2 hour commuting time productively.
Yes I Zoom (not my favorite pastime), but, best of all, I have started to nap.
I had my first Covid dream a few days ago. It was about reopening and returning to the office.... back to normal.There was an awareness of measures in place to safely return.At my office desk, I settled in and reacquainted myself with the security of surroundings that I was so accustomed to.
Do you know the difference?
Virtues are instilled. They are manifested by what molds and shapes us; usually character building opportunities produce virtues. Typically, virtues are taught by our parents, teachers, coaches, and the like. From the time we are wee boys and girls, these important people shape the virtues we become, from the inside out.
Our values are what we claim. Words that define what we believe in social settings. They help us connect with other like-minded individuals.
These are strange times.
Grocery shopping now is always an adventure. (Yes, I am still going albeit with utmost caution and protection and only when absolutely necessary).
