Optimism

One of my friends was talking today (on Marco Polo) about how the quarantine has reminded her of how much we take for granted, and that really resonated with me. Going to church, sending our kids to school, going grocery shopping whenever we have a craving or run out of something, participating in extracurricular activities, working/collaborating, being with family and friends... it goes on and on! Even just feeling safe and healthy. I hope (and believe) that when this is all over, the sky will be a little brighter, strangers will smile at each other a little more, and we will complain less about all the things—privileges—that fill up our schedules. Because we’ll know. 💛
