The topic for this blog is optimism. National Hockey League Hall of Famer Wayne Gretzky used to say “I skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been”. These are wise words today in our uncertain times. What I mean is, it’s impossible to know what our future holds, but we need to look ahead to when the coronavirus is under control with a vaccine and a widely accessible cure is available.
I choose to look at the world through a positive lens. As a glass half full guy. We’ve learned a lot about the virus and I believe we’ve seen the worst of it. Don’t get me wrong, no one knows our future, but we are a lot more knowledgeable now than we were back in March. Many schools are opening, businesses are ramping up and we’re learning that being outside with physical distancing is safer than we thought back in March.
So my take is for those of us who are generally healthy, we need to practice common sense safety habits as stated by the CDC guidelines and get on with our lives.
In keeping with my story, I’ll share this quote from Washington Nationals Manager Davey Martinez, after winning the 2019 World Series.
