Happy Friday Everyone!!

Stress levels are at an all time high, emotions are uncontrollable, and the unknown is weighing heavily on all of us.  None of this sounds very motivating, encouraging, or positive for a Happy Friday Message.  I have continuously wrote about seeing the positive in every situation, so I am going to practice what I have been preaching.  Here are 10 positives(in no particular order of importance) from the COVID-19/coronavirus pandemic of 2020.

  1. People have shown their emotions to each other, when under normal circumstances they would have kept to themselves.  Showing that we are all human and that we all care deeply for each other. 
  2. We have proven the need for technology to communicate and continue providing learning opportunities.  
  3. We are all washing our hands on a regular basis.
  4. We are not invading personal space.
  5. Our hectic daily routines have been slowed to a crawl.  Which provides time for family bonding.
  6. Travel is not recommended, so getting to those home improvement projects might actually happen.
  7. People have engaged in more open and honest communication.  Events like this have a tendency to make people remove the sugar coating from what they say.  
  8. Our school buildings will be sparkling clean and ready for our children to return.
  9. We all have learned to deal with not having the answer or knowing the outcome but continue to do our best every day.
  10. We have all been reminded how important we are to our children and how much we love seeing them in school.  

Even though we are navigating uncharted waters, we are all in the same boat and will continue to do whatever we can for our children.

Happy Friday
