Canada Day July 1st. Different places have different celebrations. They can include parades, breakfast, activities for the kids, concerts and of course fireworks. This year, well not so much. People offered virtual concerts and fireworks but not the same feeling.
We miss being with a crowd, Excited and gathering energy from each other. Sharing an exciting event together. Taking to strangers. We are trying to adjust to the new normal and in cases embrase it. Working from home making better flex hours of our days. Less travel so less gas emissions. Connecting more with families and friends away via Zoom, Houseparty and Skype. All good.
But yesterday so lacked celebration. A few of us discussed it and felt off all day. We know the reasons behind decisions and support them. It is just maybe we as a family/friends have to get more creative at home. BBQ? Breakfast? Flags? Activities for the kids. Yeah we can do this as summer is here. Take a special day and blow it out of the water. Yes it might take more planning but start early and pick up a few fun things for kids and adults.
If this is the new normal for the forseeable future we have to work with it not against it.
