Can you see it? Can you feel it? The shift is happening.  Not as fast as we’d like but acceptable.  We’re moving into that thing called the new normal.  And the body isn’t liking it.  We’re not conditioned for the daily business stress. Oh it felt so good to work remotely from home!  I got into having lunch with my teacher wife.  Then we’d binge watch a show before she’d get back to the digital class.  Look around you!  Look at yourself.  We’re back to stuffing 25 pounds into a 10 pound bag.  Guess what we’re forgetting?  Saying thank you to the frontline workers.  Guilt trip!  The definition shouldn’t be redefined.  The frontline workers are still the doctors, nurses, dentists, firefighters, police, teachers, massage therapists, burger makers, grocery store employees and boom!  Even the mail carriers.  All of whom will be still here when the next surge of Covid 19 sweeps across this nation in the weeks ahead.  Your sprite energized boss will send out the email to work from home.  Guess who can’t.  The frontline worker. The Uber driver, the pizza delivery person, the bank teller, the construction worker.  Don’t stop saying, “Thank you.”  Sure they’ll brush it off.  I get it!  As you can tell the media has slowed down on reporting the physical number of new Covid cases and how many are still losing their lives.  It’s out of sight out of mind.  Guess who isn’t.  The frontline worker! Even with the vaccine they can get the sickness, the experts say it won’t be as bad.  During my 42 years of radio broadcasting we are still required to be at the studio during a huge snow storm.  The frontline workers know the game.  Keep them motivated by saying, “Thank you.”
