REFRESH YOUR SOUL
Another year with COVID: Are You Learning to Accept and Live With It?
What Does Your Soul Need?
First it was COVID (the common name) and then it was SARS-2. The next variant of COVID was Delta. Now we have Omicron. The time span has been two full years, and globally, we are all learning to live with it, but are you accepting it?
The global increases of COVID cases have caused some countries to close borders (again).
In the US, many airlines cancelled flights last weekend because airline staff had contracted COVID. In one day, airlines cancelled 2000 flights. Families who hoped to gather had to cancel or postpone plans to gather, or find other ways to get to their destinations, all the while sitting in airports waiting for a “next” flight.
What began as a curveball has turned into a way of life — wearing masks, standing six feet apart from strangers, and spending more and more time indoors. Some question the (mental)health of the current and long-term effects of COVID. Rightfully so.
It feels like we take one step forward and two steps backwards. The more we want stability, the more unpredictable it becomes. This is the cost of living with a disease that has not settled into its endemic state.
