It’s been almost a year since the pandemic closures began here in the U.S. It’s frustrating to see countries like China and Australia to have gotten through the worst and be on the other side, while this country still suffers.
It’s tiring and it makes you feel weary. But, we have to push through. For everyone, pushing through is different. Some people are bingeing Netflix, some people are getting into better shape, some are baking, some are taking up hobbies.
For me, I’ve been listening to a lot of audiobooks, which has been good, and watching the occasional flick I’ve heard good things about but not seen. (I watched 13 Going on Thirty the other day on HBO. [Sidenote: Bone to pick with HBO search function, as I couldn’t find the film when I typed in “thirteen,” but it showed up with “13.”] That was a great little flick.)
This last year has been tough with the pandemic, but not as tough as it could have been. None of my immediate family have gotten sick or died from COVID-19, and we’ve all been able to stay employed, which has been good. So, I’m thankful for the good things, and trying to keep at it and push through.
What are you doing to push through the pandemic?
