I am writing this blog post on a semi-wet and blustery Sunday afternoon in the month of May. Â We are having a true Spring this year and it’s not easy getting used to. Â Also it’s been 14 months since the pandemic officially started in Connecticut and although some things have changed, others have not…

This is the 7th installment of a (hopefully) limited series of blog posts related to my Covid 19 experience – but 7 is my lucky number so I’m going to go with that (smile).


But first things first, I am still working hybrid — one day operating from home, the next day from my News 8 local sales office — which I absolutely love doing but I fear the end is near…

…the state of Connecticut is fully opening up on May 19th which is a pretty good sign that things are moving towards what is being deemed, the “new normal.”

I can’t lie, I want the “old normal” back and I promise not to complain about anything anymore (double smile).


I’m also still attending my church home, Christian Tabernacle Baptist Church, via Facebook live. Â There’s something to be said about hearing and learning about “The Word” virtually from the safety and comfort of your own home…

And I still work out 5 days a week at I Love Kickboxing in North Haven, CT. Â What has recently changed at ILKB is this: Â there are no more mask optional classes (just mask-mandatory) nor are there any more limits to class sizes. Â So with the arrival of earlier sunrises in Connecticut, these early bird class sizes will sometimes swell to capacity.

I’m also super excited to announce that I am now fully vaccinated so a simple mask is my new entry point to getting some of my life back, Yay!

I’m not going crazy though. Â I am slowly easing myself back into my new life. Â Pre-Pandemic I was Go-Go-Go, trying to cram everything in all at one time without once stopping to take a break.

Nowadays I’m learning to appreciate the simple things in life. Â Things that bring me love, peace and joy. Â I’m also planning for my retirement over the next 4 or 5 years where I will look forward to enjoying a much slower and leisurely pace.


Sincerely,
TVFL
