Nudging to Normal

Nearly a year and a half has gone by since we hunkered down in home offices, at dining room tables and basement hideaways in order to keep the wheels of our respective business and careers turning. Some of us were not as fortunate to have this option such as those that fed us, kept our groceries flowing and were there when we needed emergency services. To those front-line workers and first responders, I for one, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your bravery and willingness to serve us all under the most difficult circumstances is something I will never take for granted.

Now, with most of us vaccinated and at least our part of the world opening back up, it’s time to reacquaint ourselves with family, friends and co-workers we’ve been separated from for so long. Thanks to my own family, including my extended one of great friends and colleagues that got me through these most unusual times.

So long to commuting to the dining room in fuzzy slippers, Zoom calls in sweatpants and binge-watching Netflix in a hoodie. Although we never really left, it certainly felt that way. Here’s to face-to-face meetings, bona fide in-person coffee breaks, and reunions of every kind. Hope to see you soon!

Sincerely,  Robert Mogensen
