Winter arrived

Still in a pandemic and beginning to worry about how families will be handled their Christmases. Sure we all wanted to gather and celebrate as usual but HEY, this has been no 'usual' year.

People were good at developing their bubble groups BUT every time a holiday would come around they just couldn't remain steadfast. Now that we are 14 days past the Christmas holiday we are seeing the results of folks breaking down and gathering with their families. Sadly some of these people will now lose some loved ones.

In "Breaking Barriers" I am depicting how wonderfully we were at organizing our social and family bubbles followed by the seasonal holiday breakdown. Openings in the 'fence' allowed individuals to break the barriers that were keeping them safe. It will be only in the next months that we will see the ramifications of this.
