Strange Times Indeed

Written by the RS&S Team

Given the strange times that we are experiencing, the RS&S team wanted to offer some perspective…

Strange Days Indeed. 
 
Certain lines of John Lennon’s “Nobody Told Me” could have been written just for this time right now: Everybody’s talking and no one says a word…always something happening and nothing’s going on…everybody’s runnin’ and no one makes a move…everybody’s crying and no one makes a sound…nobody told me there’d be days like these…Strange days indeed…
 
The uncertainty is extremely unsettling.  We don’t know who will get sick or when, what the stock market is going to do, or when the kids will go back to school.  Many of us feel adrift, with our normal routines pulled out from under us and new questions swirling daily:
 
Should we cancel that business trip? How will we meet our goals? What should we be doing?  Not to mention all of the tele-conferencing issues: How do I mute my mic?  Do I really look like that?  Can you hear me now?
 
We can easily get lost in the wondering and worrying about it all. 
 
And while our concerns are understandable and unavoidable, we can look to each other for strength, inspiration and motivation to move forward within our individual lives with grace and purpose. Like the singers and musicians sharing the beauty of song with their quarantined neighbors, we each have the power to make things a little better in our own ways in our own worlds.
 
How we rise to the challenges before us is what matters.  
 
We are all in this uncharted territory together. The days are strange because it feels like we have lost our way. The team here at RS&S urges you to remember your North Star. Hold that bright goal in your sights and keep moving forward. The way may not be smooth and straight, but with purpose and confidence we’ll come through and reach our destination.
 
Be Safe!
