My son lost a tooth and wrote to the tooth fairy asking for a very particular mask case (we’ve found glasses case to work well for that). I find this both hopeful and disheartening. Hopeful that he has seamlessly integrated pandemic living so matter of factly and without apparent trauma (at least in this case). And then disheartening for the same reason. But all over hilarious.

The only thing that has prepared me for a time like this is my age - the perspective. The pandemic has invited me to step back and ponder what is really important. I realize the importance of family, friends, faith and connectedness; I'm willing to follow pandemic protocol to protect those who are important to me. I brighten my days by reaching out to others in hopes of brightening their day. I stay active in order to be as physically and mentally strong as possible. Pandemic fatigue is real, but I will make it through.
