Talk about what brings you happiness these days.
The upside of the pandemic is that I met someone on March 14, 2020, shortly before the lockdown. And so for the past year+, I have had an unfolding new relationship. It has been a unique time to get to know someone, and to share these months of the pandemic in a new intimate relationship when so many people are feeling isolated, lonely, depressed. I feel for them, as this brings me great happiness. I have deep gratitude for this and it brings me happiness. Being in nature also gives me great happiness as well as finally being able to connect more with friends since now many of us have been fully vaccinated. The onset of spring is also bringing me happiness. A sense of rebirth, renewal, hope..

How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.
I never ever imagined, that in my wildest dreams, we’d be where we are right now. What a world we live in. It’s been a long week. It was our first week of having all of our students stuffed back into classes, the morale is really low at school y como si fuera poco, it was teacher appreciation week and I have never felt so unappreciated. It’s strange, really. I am not one to seek out support or love or accolades. However, seeing this sign, manipulated by someone in the community where I teach (used to read we love NAHS teachers), was a blow to the gut. I have given so much to teaching and to my students as I have this year... I wish I felt more from there. Anything really.
