Tis the season to spread a little joy! What better way than with a Corona Care Package!Â
Everyone is going through it right now. Let’s face it, 2020 has been less than an ideal year. Despite this year not adding up to what I thought it would, COVID has heightened a few important lessons that I sometimes take for granted.
Lessons Learned during the Pandemic
What are these lessons you ask? For starters, the importance of selflessness. By being conscious of the choices I make every day, I am choosing to think of the bigger picture. By participating in small acts like wearing a mask or observing the grocery store hours for seniors, I am choosing to put others first. I am choosing to do my part to make our community safer.Â
Second on that lesson list is tolerance. I think it’s really important to remember that everyone has different views on COVID. Let’s take a minute to have some patience and show a little grace towards others. It is ok to have a different opinion than others during this uncertain time.Â
For the third and last lesson, the power of friendship and community. Elliott and I have survived these past few months because of our friends and family. We have made it a point to do family game nights over Zoom, participate in virtual happy hours, and have swapped more cleaning and sanitization supplies with friends and family than I ever thought I would do in my lifetime.
At the beginning of the pandemic, our two besties sent us a corona care package. It was seriously the sweetest, most thoughtful surprise! They filled it with cleaning supplies, candles, relaxing face masks for me, adult beverages for Elliott, and even treats for our fur babies! The girls thought of it all! It made the thought of going through this pandemic so much better. I know I say it all the time, but I really have the best girlfriends around!
The joy I felt upon receiving our surprise care package got me thinking! Tis the season of giving…why not spread a little happiness with a Corona Care Package!Â
Spread Joy
Think about some of your favorite things you have used throughout the pandemic and pass it on! Send a care package to your family, your friends, or even your neighbors! Hopefully, they will be inspired to pass along a corona care package to someone else they care about!
We sent one to our neighbors who just had a baby! P.S. They LOVED it!
What items would you include in your Corona Care Package?
Amanda, you made me teary. I think, (actually, I know) you are one of the kindest, most selfless young women I know. You are a treasure! We are all so blessed to have you in our family!
Love and miss you!
