Whatever words you use to describe this pandemic, COVID-19, the official name given by World Health Organization, has sparked a variety of emotions. Most negative, for valid reasons, and if you look at the world as glass half-full, I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the fight and creativity that many people have displayed all of the world to support each other by offering several remote services to try and provide a sense of normalcy in a world that is now abnormal. This epidemic has also given me the opportunity to see my girls, and I know that sounds funny, but for some of us, you find yourself just surviving. Day by day, week by week, month by month, year by year, I am fortunate to see my girls every day, but I never had a moment to just observe, sit back, and just breathe for a second. Not worried about what I am going to wear to work, gas I need to put in my car, having to rush and pick them up for daycare. And you know what, my girls are amazing. One is funny, at this age they break you down, know your tendencies, and nothing gets past them. The other is just as nonchalant as one can be, but do not make a promise you cannot keep because her memory is like an elephant, and she will call you out in a minute. I do not know how long this new normal will exist, but I am going put all my energy into my girls and be positive. What about you? What are some positive things that you have uncovered about yourself or your children during these times? If you have children 4 years of age or younger, have you spoken to them about COVID-19? If so, how did the conversation go?
