From May 27, 2021: Flourishing

 Flourishing

For the past 15 months of covid we’ve all become familiar with the term “languishing,” which aptly describes how many of us felt at various times, particularly in the depths of winter when there seemed little hope that the pandemic would soon end. Now, as the weather warms and we approach 50% vaccination, we can move toward flourishing. To do so may require conscious effort, as outlined both in a recent New York Times article and an Atlantic magazine article. As we head into the extra-long weekend (thanks to our final Snow Day) it’s good to remember that getting back to “normal” will require some time, both physically and emotionally. I hope that you have a restful weekend as we head into the final days of the school year.
