The past year has taught me how important nature is for healing and gaining strength to cope with the challenges and stresses of life. We need to preserve open spaces, I am so grateful for the Farmington Canal in Handen and our state parks and hiking trails. I saw a lot more activity on the canal during the days of confinement. More kindness and consideration for our fellow human beings.

It was the worst of times, it was the best of times.

It was a time of isolation, it was a time of re-evaluation and contemplation.

It was a time of dysfunction, it was a time of learning new skills.

It was a time of fatigue, it was a time of enforced leisure.

It was a time of selfless support of others, it was a time of selfish disregard by others.

It was a time of great fear of the virus, it was a time of great jubilation over the vaccines.

It was a time of rigorous scientific explanations, it was a time of foolish conspiracies.

It was a time of domestic violence, it was a time of renewal of relationships.

It was a time of bankruptcy, it was a time of stock market records.

It was a time of lingering malaise, it was a time of thankfulness for little things.

It was a time of despair, it was a time of hope.
