How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.

We are about to begin the second year of the COVID-19 pandemic. Unreal that it is now a yearlong, and still not over, but grateful that vaccines have been developed and are becoming more widely available. I think our son has suffered the most, recovering from drug addiction and depression. Although he attends group and individual therapy, he stays at home with us and seems to have lost all motivation. This is discouraging, as my husband and I contemplate retirement. I go in to work 3 days a week, working remotely otherwise, and to the drugstore to pick up prescriptions - that's it. Tiresome and repetitive. I have worked to expand the time I spend reading books, and have begun to journal again after a long absence. This helps.
