2020.... I spent a year there one afternoon....

It has been 5 months since I posted here, and what a 5 months it has been.  2020 has turned out to be one hell of a disappointment so far. 

We made it to Barbados and had a great week with Bruce & Gloria.  That's when the craziness began.  Literally, the day we returned to PEI (Friday the 13th, 2020).  They announced quarantines and travel restrictions due to the Corona / Covid 19 Virus.  This turned into a global epidemic with quarantines, social isolation, shortages of masks and hand sanitizer.  It has been 4 months and there is no end in sight, although some of the restrictions have eased including travel between the 4 Atlantic provinces. 

To add to the virus pandemic, there is global concern about racism include riots and police brutality, not just in the US but in Canada as well.

Donald Trump has somehow gotten worse as he rejects the pandemic even though the US has the highest amount of new cases on a regular basis.

I spent 11 days in the  hospital with anemic aggressive pneumonia and am only now coming around to normal status.

Many people, Cheryl and I included, are working from home due to the spread of the Covid 19 virus.  To date, including my vacation, I have not been in the office since March 1.  4 months working from home, but all of my  regional colleagues are in the same boat.  It is anticipated that the earliest we will be working from the office is September.

Crazy times.

This is a quote that I read a while back from Peter Rukavina and I love the the simplicity and succinctness of the four words.  Adversity is...
