How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.
Hope Springs Eternal The hospital is full, and we are holding patients in the emergency department. We had a brief decrease in COVID patients, but that did not last long. And it was a full moon. I came home from work one day and saw this flower blooming in my flower bed. It is the first spring bloom that I have seen this year. I live in the South, so it is not unusual to have flowers bloom early, especially if it has been a warm winter. For some reason, though, this caught me off guard. And I felt like crying. It's such a small thing, yet it had a huge impact on me. There is hope. Despite all that we have been through in the last year, there is always hope, and this is one way that God reminds us.

Talk about how the events of recent months have affected either your work or your ability to work.
I actually prefer my work since the pandemic started. I am better able to concentrate on what I am doing when there are only a few other people in the office. I have my own work station and my own chair instead of always wondering where I will be sitting and frantically looking for a chair that is in good shape that someone else hasn't taken already. It is easier to talk to supervisors over the computer (a system they set up when most people chose to work at home). At work, I am not looking forward to getting back to normal.
