editorial... What a Difference a Month Makes

Hello Friends,  Just over a month ago I presented a group of new Scribbles posts. That feels like a lifetime ago now that our world has been turned upside down and inside out. It’s hard to compare this pandemic to another era from our past because (thankfully) there hasn’t been a time quite like this before.

But within all the abrupt changes, hysteria and anxiety regarding what happens next, we have also seen incredible acts of strength, kindness and creativity.

Doctors, nurses and others in the medical field have faced the enemy with bravery and determination. Federal, provincial and local governments have put their differences aside to work together with our best interests in mind.

Businesses have come up with new ways to serve their clientele online, via drive-thru's and with curbside pickups. Grocery stores have gone above and beyond to ensure the safety and well-being of their devoted employees and customers. Factories have been retrofitted to produce much-needed supplies including ventilators, masks, gloves and hand sanitizer.

The entertainment industry had come up with creative ways for self isolating fans to listen to live music with living room concerts. Online there’s virtual visits available to tour museums, zoos and amusement parks from around the world.

And individuals have stepped up to ensure family, friends and neighbours are safe and have food to eat, all while keeping within a safe distance from one another.

Last week, we presented a series of encores with the goal of making you feel happy. Today we offer over 20 all new posts to continue making you smile. I figured y'all have lots of time so why not give you lots of posts to enjoy.

Love Ken
