This is a picture I took while sitting at the Belfast City airport 6 hours early because the 24 hour PCR test I took was lost by the lab and I had to get to the airport early to pay for another test - this time a rapid antigen. There are no customer service agents around until 2 hours before your flight while several people sit around waiting for their COVID test results.I was struck by the UK’s expediency in getting free tests to people. Little did I know that I would come home to CT and find people indifferent to Omicron - no mask mandate - and no tests to be found!

Somehow, in the midst of this horrific pandemic, I have found an inner strength that I didn’t know I possessed. Under these highly unusual, challenging circumstances, I have learned how to survive with less freedom, less social interaction and less “stuff.” Perhaps my inner introvert, longing for serenity and reflection, is just a bit elated to recognize beauty in quiet and magic in standing still.
