Editorial: It’s time to enjoy life again this Spring and Summer

This Spring and Summer, I want people to enjoy life again and understand just how lucky we really are.

When thinking back over the last few years with the pandemic, it is amazing how far we have truly come. There were times when people were afraid to leave their homes. There were times when people were actually calling the police because people were outside. This all seems nuts now, but this was our way of living for a while.

These past two years have been confusing, maddening and draining us. We all have to deal with this thorn in our side. Now, it seems to be coming to an end and that is good. The other good thing is that we should have learned some lessons that we need to take into the future, even if there is no pandemic to speak of.

We have to use common sense today. Washing your hands to prevent germs, better hygiene tactics, and doing preventative things to stay healthy. I see many people resorting to pre-pandemic nasty habits. I just don’t understand why.

I learned not to take anything for granted. People lost a lot of valuable time with family and friends. This Spring and Summer, spend some much-needed time with your loved ones. The excuses are now out the window.

I hope everyone continues to stay safe and just simply enjoy the days that we are given. Life is short and we do not know the time we take our last breath. Let’s live life like we never know when the time is coming. Make sure the rest of your 2022 is a memorable one.
