In January 2020 I had the opportunity to visit Rome. It was unlike any other place I have visited – from the 800 year old fountain across the street to the almost 2000 year old Colosseum and 2700 year old ruins of the Roman Forum.
Then, a couple of weeks after we returned home, Rome went on lockdown. People were sick and dieing by the hundreds. Yet it was the same city we had just left.
It seemed unreal. We were in shock, hoping those people we had met were safe yet knowing that they likely could not escape some impact.
What about you? What were you doing in January of 2020 before life changed? How did your life change in the following weeks and months?
Okay. Set your timer for 5 minutes; then ready … set … write!
