Well, it looks like it’s finally starting. We’re going back to work. If you’re like me, starting up work again in the entertainment industry has been coming in at a slow trickle, which I actually think is good. We need time to re-acclimate, but not just to have a job again. We have to learn how to be around people again, how to be physically active, how to stand on our feet for long periods, and how to decide what risks we’re willing to take. We need to relearn our rhythms, our flow. There’s a real thing now called Post-Covid Stress Disorder, and a whole bunch of us have it. We’ve all been dealing with the trauma of a global pandemic the best way we know-how. Some of us have developed bad habits. Some of us have developed good habits and coping mechanisms. Whatever personal journeys we’ve been on, it’s important to remember that no one in the world was safe from this disaster, and we will all need some support as we try to get back to “normal”….whatever that was or is.
