I was surprised that I did not find it that difficult to write this list of things. I think something that helped me during this activity was that I have a little sister. She is 9 years old and I think that her creativity and energy is what is keeping us all moving every day. This reminded me of child’s eye In a way because she doesn’t see this pandemic as a problem, but as an opportunity. Yes, she is blind to the sad effects of it right now, but she is being optimistic and making fashion shows to keep herself busy and is never sitting doing nothing for one second.
Another thing that I noticed during this activity is that the things that I found most important had to do with self care (they are bolded). I think that self care is good for the body and soul and is what should be focused on the most during this time.
