I'm so sorry your rollout is going slowly. Pennsylvania is still far behind other states, but we are progressing faster than Canada (which is shocking; I feel like Canada does everything better). 3/4 of our parents have at least 1 shot, and the last parent has one coming up. Many of my friends are healthcare workers so they are full vaccinated (doesn't change much for us socially, but it's still happy). Our entire school of teachers got the J&J jab last week. The data coming out is so positive, showing significant reduction of transmission for vaccinated individuals. I mostly feel hope. I see the light at the end of the tunnel. I know we are emerging and I am so excited about it. I am so sorry that your light is farther away. It will come. I think as your parents get vaccinated, it will seem brighter.

I listened to a podcast earlier this winter on toxic positivity and it made me feeling a bit better about not finding the silver lining, because sometimes there just isn't one and that's okay.Nataliehttp://natalieinnneverland.blogspot.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1768500025681903875.post-90829202417938501652021-03-16T10:56:15.325-04:002021-03-16T10:56:15.325-04:00This all makes such sense.

The year in a COVID world posts are actually really hard for me, who usually loves looking back on things, because I realize how scared I was this would never end.
