How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.
I noticed most posts in the Pandemic Journaling Project are about anger, fear, and blame. I try to live a normal life even though I reside in one of the current hot spots. Maybe I am a fatalist but believe you can do everything right and still die. My boss asked me to teach her and my coworkers to paint sunflowers on fence panels. We painted the panels after work Tuesday night. It felt good to help them be creative and enjoy something out of our daily routines. They all said they couldn't paint, but as you see, they were successful. I believe it is better to do the things you want to do than live in fear and anger. Many times, fear and anger can make you sick, so everyone, please try to make the best of what you have. The choice is yours.

Many of us have experienced restrictions on movement and social contact during the pandemic. Talk about any restrictions that have especially affected you.
My college went entirely online for the entire 2020-2021 school year. This was my sophomore year of college, so I feel like I missed out on a huge chunk of what people describe as one of the best times of their lives. I often think about what I missed and get sad about it.
