How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.
I picked these flowers from our yard to make bouquets for myself, two friends and my Mom for Mother’s Day. I keep a shelf next to our fireplace as a memorial to her, my Dad and my partner’s dad, all of whom have passed. This was my first Mother’s Day without Mom because of COVID19 so I missed her. But it was fun to make the bouquets look pretty & professional.

If you feel your mental health has changed since the pandemic started, talk a bit about how, and why.
It's been a rocky year for everyone and I've certainly had my ups and downs, but I think one positive change from the pandemic has been a more open conversation about mental health. It seems more okay to say you're not okay now than ever before in my life. I find it easier to represent what's truly going on with me and easier to understand what's going on with others for this reason. I also feel more aware of my own ups and downs and have more strategies for addressing them (like meditation).
