It was hard for me to believe as I browsed my own site just now, that I started blogging about the Covid mess over a year ago now (April 3). What an incredibly hard year this has been for so many people!
I think as we consider our friends and family, so many people are still affected by this disaster on a daily basis. We need to remember it is not "over" and continue to provide support in every way that we can dream up.
The emotional stress and turmoil just keeps beating some people into the ground, day in and day out. While I did not enjoy necessarily being stuck at home, I did not have to put myself out there on the front lines either. I did not have to endure the public and their lack of knowledge and bad behavior that often went with that. I did not have to put myself at risk just in the course of doing my normal job. I had it "easy" if we were to draw comparisons.
And so I find myself forgetting to be there for the people in my world who were, and still are affected. I am making a pact with myself to try and do more. If each of us just did an extra token of appreciation and love to those most affected, it would make a difference. We need to work harder to be the positive difference in someone's day, every day.
