| So much to see London, ON March 2022 This photo originally shared on Instagram |
This isn’t a cold or the flu, and while I’m better than I was, I’m nowhere near where I’d like - or need - to be.
But Planet Earth spins regardless of how we’re feeling. So thanks to the wonders of virtual technology, we’ll sit in front of our webcams and pretend everything’s great.
I’m reminded that mid-pandemic life makes it difficult to truly connect. And that behind the rectangular Zoom or Microsoft Teams or Google Meet window, people struggle with a whole litany of issues that may include, but certainly aren’t limited to, COVID.
The mental health impact alone could easily be the story of our time given how significantly our lives are being jostled around. Even as we recover, we struggle to care for those around us. Ask around: it’s touching us all.
So if I can start the workweek with any one sentiment, it’s this: please be kind. Please look out for others. Reach out to them, too.
It matters.
About this photo: countless windows, each one representing a story, a life. We can stare all we want from far away, but we’ll never really know what’s going on on the other side of the glass.
