Yesterday I attended four Zoom calls, It was exhausting. Yesterday taught me an important lesson. Self-advocates want to stay connected with one another. They miss the personal, face connection. I can’t believe the Pandemic has been with us for two years. People are so tired of sheltering in place, social distancing, and mask-wearing. They want things to return to normal. They want to meet one another to laugh, joke and carry on. We were not meant to live in isolation, Since meeting in person is not in the cards for right now, We will have to make du with Zoom. I hope things will return to normal in 2022.
