Dear Midsummer’s Music Friends,
What do you do when a pandemic strikes? That was the question we were all grappling with a year ago when the unthinkable happened. Our lives shut down and we were consumed by worry about how to keep ourselves healthy and safe. After a few months, we learned the new rules that are second nature to us now—mask, distance, and wash. And then the second wave hit. I’m not talking about the second wave of COVID, although that happened too. I am referring to the second wave of worry, namely how in the world were we going to stay sane? Mental and spiritual health.
