Talk about how the events of recent months have affected either your work or your ability to work.
Forcing forsythia. It is still wintery here, but I derive a sign of hope from cutting early forsythia branches and bringing them indoors. This is called forcing, because it causes the branches to bloom weeks earlier than they will outdoors. One year ago I did the same with many vases of blooming forsythia placed around my apartment. This marked the beginning of the pandemic, and I hope that the flowers now mark the beginning of the end.

Has the pandemic disrupted your plans for the future in any major way? If so, talk about the most significant disruption(s).
My wife and I were starting to think about having a second child around the beginning of the year. I wanted to make sure we had some things set up first (life insurance, etc.), and then the pandemic hit. We don't talk about getting pregnant anymore.
