What A Difference A Year Can Make

The pandemic brought changes

What a difference a year can make!

There was no pandemic just a year ago.

Life was normal as we knew it.

Then the coronavirus cases started to appear.

Some deaths resulted from the virus.

Life soon changed somewhat

with self-isolation, washing hands often,

and sanitizing becoming the norm.

Those are things we should all have been doing

and should continue to do.

We should isolate ourselves when we don’t feel well.

Washing our hands often is only logical.

Keeping things clean and sanitary

helps to make everyone safer.

Those should not have been big changes

to our daily lifestyle.

They should have been there already

and should continue to be daily habits.

But there were other changes which came as well

such as unemployment, working from home,

schools being closed, and restaurants shut down.

Now social distancing and masks are the norm.

Too many deaths have occurred due to COVID.

Hopefully, the pandemic will be over soon,

and life can be normal once again.
