How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.

Every Tuesday I volunteer at our local ski hill ... I finally realized that the day on the mountain is a blessing during these times. I get to ski with guests at the resort and spend time talking to them. I had a fantastic day today and as usual the guests I hosted were a pleasure to be with. Everyone is there to have a good time on the slopes. What is most amazing is that no one talked about Covid-19, restrictions or anything else related to the pandemic. Tuesday are a day to escape the pandemic. I am outdoors with a neck tube covering my face, so safety is not an issue when you throw in the fact that I am outdoors. People are friendly and appreciative of what I do. My focus is on ensuring that everyone is safe on the hill and having a good time. The pandemic slides into the background for about 7 hours. No thoughts, no discussions, and no worries about Omicron. I think Tuesday is usually the best day of the week. I come refreshed and tired at the same time. My mind gets a day off. It is good for the soul.
