The bulk of my 2021 business travel is over. Meetings are wrapped up, out of the way, others tabled “till the New Year.” It’s like the business needs a breather. I know I do.
Flying this week, for the first time since before the pandemic, I reflected on a few things:
- Approval for TSA-Pre-Check came ~ 10 days after lockdowns started; 20 months later, I felt like a kid flying for the first time. I had no clue where to go or how to proceed. I made it.
- Masks or not, people are still chatty. I chatted with snowbirds heading to an Arizona winter, college students headed home, and others waiting in line.
- I packed a book but never opened it. I brought a snack and never ate it.
- I brought my notes and never read them.
- I guess, looking back, I moved about on instinct. . . I felt my way through.
- Babies slept, toddlers blew kisses, grandpas winked. People helped one another, reached higher-up items and belongings that rolled under seats.
The media would have us believe that we are all hateful, angry, racist and rude.
Just not seeing it.
You?
