* [Edited version] originally published on NextAvenue.org, a PBS site Have your hopes and dreams been suspended during the pandemic? Even if you stayed physically healthy, it’s commonly recognized Covid took an emotional toll on all of us. Part of the price of the pandemic is its theft of so many dreams. Perhaps like me, you were forced to back-burner your long-range dreams and aspirations, while you focused solely on staying alive. And perhaps you postponed smaller, short-term dreams and plans.
