How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.
Today we painted rocks and it reminded me of things we used to do when we were stuck at home early in the pandemic. Crafting at home is much more fun when we can also choose to be out doing other things! This little project seems to represent a turning point for us. So much of our life feels normal again because all of our friends are vaccinated and we can spend time with the people we love.

Talk about your experience keeping this journal. Has it had any impact on your health (including mental health) and well-being?
I believe keeping this journal was very helpful to my mental health because I was forcing myself to put into words and pictures what I was feeling and experiencing. There was so much information and disinformation on the pandemic that it was overwhelming. A greater sense of control was present when addressing my worries and feelings than if I didn't think them through and write them in a logical format. The act of recording answers to specific questions made me more aware of the situation and how I reacted to it.
