If I were to tell the future generations about these times during the pandemic, I would say that you shouldn't take things that are important to you for granted. I would say to cherish every second with friends and family. I would let them know how quickly things can change, so live a little. You never realize how much you need someone or something until it is taken from you. These times during this pandemic are insane and crazy. I would let them know how the hospital staff, doctors, and nurses are outstanding and deserve all the recognition in the world and that you should never take them for granted. They put in so much to save lives and during this time proved they were strong and brave. During these times it was hard for everyone. Physically, emotionally, and mentally. Being in quarantine was a struggle for everyone. It left people with thoughts that they never had before because those thoughts were put to the back of their minds because they had things like school and friends to allow them to forget about it. I would say be grateful for having the ability to have physical contact with everyone and everything because it can easily be taken from you. I would tell them to always keep in touch with the older family members in their lives. I would say, don't take for granted having food on the dinner table, and easy access to almost anything and everything you need in your homes. Cherish the ability to go outside without a mask and breathe fresh air. If something is important to you, don't take that for granted, whether it be sports, arts, photography, or anything you love because anything, like a pandemic, can take that away from you. Most importantly is your education. Don't take for granted the privileges you have to be surrounded by the friends you've grown up with, and the ability to have an education that isn't through a computer screen. I would tell them that things get tough, but if you fight through it and think positive, good things will happen. Location Where was this item created?

"Beauty before me; with it I wander” (from a Navajo poem.) I look up from my desk and it can be a bluebird, an Oriole, a Grosbeak, an indigo bunting, goldfinches, catbirds, downies--I've seen 22 different species at the feeders this year--and that's only when I happened to be looking. Not only do they bring life and beauty, they bring immense relief from listening to the sad, frustrating, and infuriating news bombarding us every day, all day. Not that one has to listen to it, but it is hard to avoid it altogether. Thank God for the hopeful, the compassionate, the inspiring counterbalances coming from those among us who actually care about and honor human life. Meanwhile, these lovely creatures carry on according to their design and nature, with never a protest, no politics involved.

Due to the pandemic, it has put a stranglehold on many of the things that are near and dear to my heart. These include seeing all of my close friends and some of my favorite teachers at school as well as participating in extra curricular activities such as sports. Although I can't do these things I am not one to just complain about everything and sit around doing nothing. I have still been active during this time and have exercised every day. I believe I have even gotten stronger both physically and mentally during this time. I have also felt a new appreciation for life as I know that many are struggling during these trying times and I try to cherish what I have because I know that a lot of people are not as fortunate. One thing I have done to keep people cheerful and positive minded is creating episodes for a podcast that I run. It is mainly about sports so I have had to think outside of the box, but I love doing it and I hope that I give the people that listen to them something to look forward to and just forget about the uncertainty that lies ahead for our nation.
