The Challenges and Silver Linings of COVID-19

This COVID-19 world is a strange place to be. I got en email recently where someone was talking about this being the best of times and the worst of times, and it rang true for me. This time is both challenging and good. It’s challenging because: Scary things are happening right now. How long will this last? How are my loved ones with COVID-19 doing? I’m worried about my loved ones and essential workers in my life, who have to go out frequently. I’m concerned about the doctors and nurses who are on the front lines. It’s good because: It reminds me to pay attention and be grateful for the small things. I’m thankful for things like chats with my kids, more family time, and having kind neighbors. I’m also grateful for video games and light traffic when I’m dropping off food for my mom.
