Happy New Year!  We are all expressing this greeting, hoping this year to be better than 2020.  Last year was a year many people felt fearful, depressed, and lacking in optimism for the future, for many different reasons.
 
Some of us lost loved ones, experienced illness in our families, job losses, or some people even missed special events such as graduation ceremonies, proms, or weddings.

It was a devastating year.

Here we are starting November 2020.  Many of us have spent more time at home than any other year in the recent past due to required or self-imposed quarantines resultant from the Coronavirus epidemic.  That means for the average person they may have possibly added on anywhere from 10-20 pounds or more of body weight.  The reason for this is a simple one.  Changes in our daily routines frequently meant less exercise.  This was caused by the closure of gyms and many social events, which included physical exercise, that were shut down for public health safety.  Al

The “new normal” is a term now being used to describe our current point in time, as we move forward from the Covid-19 virus which has not only disrupted our country but most of the world in recent months.

The truth is that what was previously “the norm” is no longer the case.

The ability to come and go, traveling in and out the country, and even from state to state, has been severely restricted.

Can you believe that we are already almost a fourth of the way through the 2020 year?
