RE: Pandemic Diaries (Entry 9)

in #story5 years ago

I absolutely love your post! You are making the best of every situation and apart from the traveling aspect, you are not making it turn out to be a grim time during the pandemic. Many are struggling so I have shared your post to bring light to what things can be like.

I love that you are trying new foods or learning new recipes. I have been out of sorts when it comes to making food. Feels like everything is the same so I lack motivation. I am happy to just eat salad for lunch and supper. Not the same for my kids though.

Raising money to support a charity is what we all need to do during these times. We already have Salvation Army and Red Cross distributing food to people and donating a little extra to those with families, children going to school to help with the kids who have stomachs in their toes :P

I think this could be a good thing to help small local businesses to keep going. Some just need that extra boost and need to see that the local people care for those businesses. A lot of us are short on money but there is always a way to make things work. Something that I have learned during these times is there's always a way to make it through.

I'm happy to hear you connected with it, thank you, and I appreciate you sharing also! I think the pre-Covid world we knew is gone forever. I believe there will be both good and bad in that. Most people I know have shed some of their materialistic tendencies and are beginning to focus on the moment and the people around them. I worry about losing more of our civil liberties and what this will do to the economy. This will be our generations' equivalent of the Great Depression. When we're old and feeble we'll be talking about how we survived this. I'm happy to help in any way I can. So many are struggling right now. I hope you're having a great weekend and thanks again for all the support!

I definitely agree that there will be good and bad coming from it, but hoping more good than bad for sure.

100% with you on losing you liberties, many question this and there's a lot that I'm seeing just by putting 1 and 1 together that give me that fear. But it's best not to go into that fear and to just be knowing of whats happening and being informed to be able to do what we can for ourselves during these times. When the time comes for something big to happen, I am sure we will be prepared.

Our kids will be talking to their children about how they were no longer able to go to the parks, mom or dad couldn't bring them shopping anymore and families would only be talked to by phone or video chats. It's insane to be thinking that far down the road.

My weekend has been good thus far and I hope your week starts on a good foot :)

Thank you! I have a young nephew and I often think about how he'll remember this. Thankfully, they live in a very good so he hasn't stopped learning. Take care of yourself!
