A moment in time...

   Well here we are â Halloween. Or was that a month ago.
   And then just a push to the middle of November, and as they say it will be a hop skip and a jump to Christmas; then ringing in the New Year â 2021. Spring is just a heart beat away (crocuses in the lawn); I believe itâs then the celebration of the Queenâs birthday* and couple of birthdays to celebrate the formation of sovereign states. And then, wait for it⊠tic toc⊠wait for itâŠ. the availability of a COVID-19 vaccine â a logistical nightmare unto itself; but everything is then, finally back to normal.
   Tic toc; tic toc.
   I look back on what I do and itâs been months since I have written anything for myself â buried in work is my excuse and of course a pandemic; damn that SARS-CoV-2. A convenient excuse I suppose. What I call the sameness of the COVID-19. Was that yesterday or last month?
    âŠ
Six months later I still remember starting this commentary on COVID-19 and why I abandoned it. I was concerned that my previous blogs had been on the same topic and I was moving away from the tenets that ground what I write about. It is also quite possible I never meant to publish this and it was simply cathartic writing to help on my journey through the pandemic (although in the end it doesnât really matter). I donât have any interest in unpacking what I thought six months ago. Whatâs important to realize at this point is that, although we are far from having this pandemic under control, we do have vaccines, effective treatments and a global community that continues to work hard to put this behind us.
Tic toc; tic toc
This pandemic will come to an end, and if you listen to the pundits, there will be an over zealous desire to celebrate like they did in the roaring 20âs. Whether you raise a glass or review the history books, this pandemic will be a moment in time to seriously reflect on and ask yourself what you learned and what you would have done differently. Everything is a learning opportunity and knowledge does make everything a little easier â particularly in the tough times.
Iâm not sure if this has satisfied anything other than me being able to say I wrote a blog (which is definitely better than saying I did not write a blog). What it has reinforced though is that action is better than non-action, and that definitely satisfies one of my tenets.
Because remember, and COVID has confused this concept, there is only so much time to get things done.
Tic toc; tic toc
