Describe an experience this week that made you happy.
Lobster dinner at a wedding - caught and cooked by the bride's neighbor. A lovely experience to be among friends. Yet 5 of the guests at the wedding were not vaccinated. We knew who two of the five were and felt scared not knowing who the three other people were. So we kept our distance on the dance floor and buffet line, and smiled and waved when introduced instead of shaking hands.. I was relieved and happy that the wedding day weather was good so we could be outside for this celebration -- improving the safety profile of this 70-person gathering.

If you feel your mental health has changed since the pandemic started, talk a bit about how, and why.
I am usually a positive and empathetic person. While the pandemic has not made me depressed, it has affected my mental health. I feel frustration with the constant changes at work and the unknown future. I understand that things will never go back to the way they were and I am okay with that, but I’m not sure I trust the government to do what’s best for us, the environment and the world as a whole. We the people have to work together and take on the responsibility of improving our lives and our world.
