After Covid, some things remain (and that’s a good thing). by Emily Lang
Joy has returned.
After an incredibly difficult 18-months, the world seems to have suddenly turned the corner, and reasons to celebrate can be found in the every day.
Sure, there were things to be grateful for during the pandemic. For me, I’m grateful that my family remained healthy, and that the people closest to me were not seriously stricken with a virus that killed so many. My prayers continue for those who were not so lucky in that regard.
Last year, our family spent a lot of time in the safety of our back porch. Our son turned a baby-faced 12 in March 2020, just as his school shut down and 6th grade saw an unceremonious end. By March 2021, he had grown a full five inches, and because we were all home together, his transition from boyhood to teenager happened before our eyes. One evening I was still taller than him; by morning, I was not. I swear it happened over night.
This year, we learned to play the socially-distanced sport of golf together; I honestly never thought I’d say that. Now that we’re all vaccinated, my husband, who does not golf, is carting us around so we can play while he watches and sometimes plays DJ via iPhone. We all laugh a lot, and the family time we’ve gained has made me a little leery of leaning all the way into life as it was pre-pandemic.

District 5750 Newsletter - D.G. Angela Rickman
"I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I intended to be." - Douglas Adams
As I wrap up my final month as District Governor and reflect on the journey, I think this quote puts it so well because each of our intentions going into 2020 at home, work, school, and Rotary were all impacted somehow. Yet, despite challenges, I am exactly where I intended to be, here with each of you, and so proud to be a Rotarian. Looking forward, I am excited to see how our clubs reemerge and renew themselves with the support of our incoming District Governor - Matt Tipton. I am happy to think about opportunities to see each other in person soon!
