Helping others during COVID is exhausting yet extremely rewarding. Designing and creating messaging to remind my fellow Americans to wash their hands, maintain social distancing, and wear a mask is good. Designing a sticker for the floor and writing an encouraging note to place in each bag or box of food to give away is amazing. But one of the greatest gifts I have received and was able to pay forward is just picking up the phone and checking on someone else.
Human contact and relationships are very vital to our emotional well-being. One of the things I have always known but taken for granted until this pandemic came and wipe out and a lot of friends and associates. I learn that it is ok to be vulnerable. Trying to be strong all the time is ridiculous and could give you a stroke or a heart attack. I learn to love and appreciate others more and never take life for granted.
