If you had to choose just one word you associate with the whole Coronavirus situation, what would it be, and why?

If I never hear that again it'll be too soon. Sadly I expect the hear it a lot more in the coming year/s to try to justify their criminal handling of Covid -19 . 🤯

Grateful

I know this situation sucks but I am grateful for so many things in my life ( my little family unit, job, house, hot water in my shower, food, wine.....) and grounding myself really helps to calm me when having bad moments.

Generosity.

It’s something I never really thought about, regarding other people. Don’t get me wrong, I try to maintain a generous attitude towards others and help people as much as I can, but I never thought about others being generous towards me until lockdown happened. I’ve had people regularly drop of gifts of groceries, gardening items, my gardener continues to cut my grass even though I explained that I had to cancel, due to current finances, offers of loans (haven’t accepted) so many people regularly checking in on me (online/telephone, etc) and my youngest. It’s been incredibly humbling and heartwarming.
