With the new CDC blessing that those fully vaccinated can gather in small group, I feel great relief. I had my first haircut in a very long time, went to the dentist and making other medical appointments.

I have not been out socially with friends yet, my daughter who had been participating in Novavax trial found out she was on a placebo but she will receive her vaccine next month, so by May she should be fully vaccinated. Her husband had the "real" shot. My son is vaccinated, his wife is not. When she's vaccinated, we'll be able to have our Thanksgiving at my daughter's this year. What a wonderful thing to look forward to. My daughter may organize a belated Mother's day get together with her in laws and us.

Still haven't been eating out. Had 2 take outs in the last year.

Stores still require face masks for patrons, and even if they lift that requirement, I'll still be wearing mine, don't want to take any chances. Hope more people are taking this vaccination seriously.

Yes! @mayofeb2020, the relief from receiving the vaccines is almost indescribable! It promises that we can soon be with loved ones and begin to re-enter our worlds-at-large with more confidence.

After almost 2 yrs since my last visit with my little family, I can only agree at how wonderful it will be for more of us to not only get to be with our loved ones again but also how wonderful it is to once again start "looking forward" to those things so long put on hold this past year.

LIke you and probably a lot of others here who will continue to take precautions, I think just making simple forays back into the world after so much restriction will take some getting used to. I hadn't considered beforehand how shocking and even frightening that initial "crowded room" experience would be for me.

Instead of previously taking for granted "making plans", now "looking forward" again takes on new and more appreciated meaning.
