COMPETITION BY CHARLES A. SCHNEIDER
We’re slowly coming up on two years of dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic, and as we get closer to the “anniversary”, I thought I would add my own story of how I coped. Sometime around March of 2020, our world and work community changed like no one had ever witnessed before. As a result of COVID-19, businesses were closed, and most of us were placed in a work-fromhome environment. It was a temporary change in
the beginning; we had no idea that it would last this long. One leader speculated, or rather stated very confidently, that we would all be back in church by Easter Sunday. Well, that did not happen! How did we cope? Well, we all did it differently. It was my habit, for years, to go to my health club every weekday morning at 5:30 a.m. to start my one-hour routine. This was an important part of both my physical health and my mental wellbeing. When the health club had to close, my world was turned upside down—and not for the better.
