How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.
This past Sunday was mothers day. We did take out and had my son and wife and my daughter for dinner outside in the back yard. Thank heavens it was sunny because its warm in the sun and cool when it starts to go down. The kids got me a bouquet of decorated cupcakes each looked like a flower almost too pretty to eat. We still have alot of restrictions which they will reassess after the 24th of May.. Covid case numbers are coming down but they are still high in the 500-600 range per day for the province. Still there are a lot admitted to Hospitals and ICU . Vaccinations are really accelerating… they have dropped down to age 30 … they can now book their shots. We still have to vaccinate 12-30 year olds. They want to get school age kids done before the end of June. I sure hope we can start socializing a bit in June , im sick of being so isolated all the time.

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.
