Do you feel like your life is going well right now? Has the pandemic changed this? If so, tell us about it.
“How you doin?” Is something I ask myself every day, and every day I’m grateful. I’m retired and own my house. My health is good, and so far my family is healthy. We are not without challenges but they are minor compared to all those fighting the disease either personally or professionally. We have a roof over our head and food to eat, and can move around under our own power. What’s changed the most is how we socialize. Thank goodness for technology! Zoom and texting are a lifeline as I can see faces and interact. I miss smiles and hugs...and I don’t understand selfishness, entitlement and stupidity... well yes, I do...people are afraid, and fear often makes people stupid and angry and we see examples every day of that dangerous combination. Here’s hoping hate, like a bear, will hibernate, and perhaps dissipate and begone by spring...yah, I know...but you got to have a dream.... 12/15

How do you think the pandemic has affected the way people around the world see the U.S.?
I don't know how people around the world think about the US. In my friend circle, (I live in South Africa) people are pretty negative about the US, believing it to be conservative and bizarre. I think the way the US handled the pandemic only confirmed them in this view, especially as the US anti vax presence is strong in social media. People here seem to be very interested in what's going on in the US and quite influenced by US opinions.
