In a phone call earlier this week, my friend told me that he was being liberated on Monday, March 22nd.

“Liberated” —- what an interesting and timely word.

My friend was referring to the fact that Monday will be two weeks after his second vaccine dose. I hadn’t heard it referred to as “liberation”.

And Monday will be the first Monday of Spring - a liberation from the confinement of an especially challenging winter.

I am so looking forward to Spring - especially this one.

Springtime and the vaccine. Liberation.
