Talk about what brings you happiness these days.
It was a beautiful day that turned into a beautiful evening. So, I took my camera for a walk. I didn't even need a jacket. There is a small clump of daffodils blooming near my front steps. I planted them years ago hoping they would spread. They never did. But in today's golden evening sun, this small bunch, soon to be eclipsed by the rhododendrons and magnolia, said "happiness." They come up every year, no matter how harsh the winter. Hello, April. It's nice to see you again.

How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.
Last week, our provincial government announced a three-step plan for re-opening. Judging by the points called out in the plan, their consulted experts didn't didn't include any representation from front line health care workers or educators. It's a recipe for disaster. The provincial government also financed multiple ads criticizing the federal government's handling of the pandemic. Seems they're more concerned with pointing fingers than with providing a reasonable, well thought out plan to get us back to normal. I think we're going to have a hard time getting out of the third wave successfully. I wouldn't be surprised if we end up having a fourth wave.
