​It’s been more than a year and a half since Covid-19 was first identified and before long started spreading around the globe, yet it appears that we are still far from being out of the woods. Pandemic, new normal, uncertainty and several more - those words of the year 2020 - are continuing to claim their places in 2021. Unfortunately, at this moment in time, we don’t know for certain when the pandemic will end and what the other side of it will look like.

This is not to undermine the many people's relentless and incredible efforts in battling the deadly virus nor to make us feel more hopeless about the current situation. I just wanted to say I hope you’re keeping well. If you're doing great, that’s sweet. If life, however, is tough for you right now, I hope you’re holding up all right and looking after yourself. I hope you’re finding things that bring warmth to your heart and make you smile. Such things don’t have to be big. I often find joy in the little things, and I hope you do, too.
