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

It has been a week of worry and of hope. Sometimes alternating in my brain and heart and sometimes living within me at the same time. I feel both when I read the news of variants and vaccines. I feel worried about my unemployed son and what his path forward might be, but hope that vaccine and lowering cases will allow him to get back to work. I feel hope that my elderly relatives who have been vaccinated are now much safer and that before too long more of my loved ones (and even me!) will join them. I worry about my grandchildren who are doing kindergarten remotely, as well as their parents who are balancing so much and are so far away from us on the other coast. Worry and hope.
