March 20 is the UN International Day of Happiness, a ‘holiday’ since 2013, with a theme even! The year 2020’s theme “Happy Together” was an unfortunate twisted premonition chosen BEFORE the pandemic was a global reality. Staying safe meant isolating from anyone not under the same roof. No more happy times at work or after, on weekend outings - well, you lived it. You know the list of the forbidden went on and on. We may have been in this historic event together, but we weren’t physically so. Those part of multi-person households found themselves together 24/7, forging creative solutions for work, school and family. Brief snatches of solitude became luxuries.
