I have not followed up on My Current Situation series since 2021/2022 so I have to catch you up. Here we go:
I am working 100% of the workday in the office as a Media Sales Professional at WTNH TV (ABC) News 8. This has been the case for the past 3+ years (post-Pandemic).
I no longer wear a face mask to anywhere. I only wash my hands when they are dirty (smile). I don’t clean my vegetables. I still look suspiciously on when someone coughs or especially hacks near me…I dress for work in work attire since I am actually in an office and meeting with clients. I’m back to traveling for pleasure – both domestically and internationally.
And honestly, when someone catches Covid 19, I look on with sympathy as if they just informed me they have a nasty cold.
The former is my reality in the month of April of 2025. Since I started my blog a decade ago, I have been diligent about not including politics as the purpose of this blog is to do one or two things: inspire, motivate, entertain, bring joy, hope, and spread good vibes.
With this particular blog post I have to deviate off the path a bit because I am so annoyed at the state of affairs in the U.S. and beyond under our current administration. And I am also quite saddened by some people who do not practice compassion or empathy for others whose own boat is smaller or may not even exist.
The overall mood for me is that the Pandemic was a walk in the woods compared to what is going on today (smile).
I don’t want to get too deep but I will say that despite what’s going on, I still feel hopeful that in the end, human nature’s goodness will triumph over wickedness and depravity.
My recommendation for all this madness is finding solace in a higher power, working with a Mental Health professional, practicing meditation, exercising at a gym or from home, making time for yourself to do the things that bring you joy, staying away from toxicity and negativity (people and otherwise) and finally, being grateful for having a sound mind, healthy body and spiritual soul.
Cheers!
P.S. If you are a non-drinker like me, the glass of wine may be swapped out with a fruit juice of your choice (smile).
Sincerely,
TVFL
