Kind of selfish of me, but from a racing standpoint, the virus has significantly impacted me in something I love to do in the warmer weather time frame and that is to make visits to new tracks and re-visit other favorites. I am glad though that many tracks are still going on despite not allowing fans, so I still have the opportunities to handicap daily and make some wagers.
I suspect I am not alone, but sometimes I just wish we could just fast forward 6-8 months or so and get back to as much of a previously normal life as possible. I recognize too that this journey requires each and every one of us to become active participants rather than observers, and at times will require us to leave our own personal comfort zones.
The current situations does, however, give us great opportunity to re-focus on the more important aspects of life, and to count the many blessings that we still have that often go underappreciated.
