Here I am, a 35 year veteran of the promotional products industry. I have seen all kinds of "things" happen in our world over those years.
But the pandemic? Personally, no words to describe. Maybe I now know what my grandparents went through during the 2 Great Wars. The uncertainty, worries for loved ones and their health and wellness. When will it end? Will we ever go "back to normal life"? Who knows.
I have to be honest. Some days I struggle. I feel hopeless, unmotivated even discouraged. Day after day with really no end in sight. We get hope, a light at the end of the tunnel, but week after week, that light seemingly remains as ever distant.
Early on, I was seen by some as being negative when I predicted this wouldn't be over till beginning of 2021.
I was wrong.
Is beginning of 2022 now the new goal? Let's hope it comes sooner than that for all our sakes.
What I have learned over this past year, is the importance of reaching out and calling someone to "check in". Remarkably, I find myself getting just as much a lift of spirit as I hope the person on the other end of the line feels.
And if you are feeling down and just want to talk to someone, I am always available. i can be reached 24/7 905-841-0916 x106
Be well. Be safe.
