Grandma

 This shit is hard. It takes a lot to not be inside all day and not enable yourself to be depressed. I think if you look at life in a different way more positively you can change your mindset and change the way you react to situations. The coronavirus is a curse and a blessing at the same time. Personally I am an optimistic person and always try to look at things in a positive direction. Even for me it has been difficult to pull myself together at times and focus on what’s important to my family. My point being it is so beautiful outside today, despite the crisis going on in the world we are alive. My mom is alive, my stepdad, the two people that I care about most in the world, are still thriving. You have to have hope to get through this, you have to be able to put aside the fears of getting sick in the fears of the public and other people to make it through. It’s important for your own health but for your family is for the mentality of your family. With Easter being so close family is a crucial part of daily life. My grandma‘s birthday is this Saturday and even with all of this stuff going on we are still going to be able to see her. Even if it’s just through her window at her house I want to be there for her. Think about all the grandparents that have gone through the depression and going through so many other things to just have another thing on their plate and with him being how old they are it puts them at a higher risk making their families stress out. So if you haven’t talked to your grandparents in a while, just call and say hi. I know they would appreciate it more than you would begin to know. My grandma is going to be 75 and she is still the same amazing, cookie baking dog lover I know.
