Rooted In This Pandemic Together

Rooted+In+This+Pandemic+Together

At the end of the COVID-19 quarantine, I don’t want to look back and say I did nothing and just wasted the time.  We forget that there is stuff we can do, we are just not accustomed to having the time to do it.  There are a lot of families that don’t necessarily spend the time they want together. The parents have jobs and the kids have school, homework and extracurricular activities.  That can lead to late nights and busy evenings, and not very much family time. This is a great time to be with your family and spend time with them. We are all stuck inside; why not take advantage of what we got. With that, we can all learn something from this pandemic. 

We have a great opportunity to just sit back and reflect on the past and learn from that.

We have a great opportunity to just sit back and reflect on the past and learn from that. We don’t necessarily have to learn from the time right now as much as we can learn from our past. We have never had a situation where we have been locked in our homes with almost nothing to do. That is why this is a great time to reflect and learn from everything that has happened that you can remember.  I know how much it has helped me to do this and how much I have been able to reflect and learn from my past. Just by spending time with my family and trying to take this time to learn from everything, I will be able to say at the end of this that it didn’t waste this time, and at the end of the day that is all I want.
