I asked my friends on Facebook some Covid Questions. Here's their answers:
Covid question #2: What would you tell your pre-Covid (think recent pre Covid- December, January, February- not, like, 3 years ago) self?
Valerie Ilguth: Be ready to let things go and be flexible this year. It's okay that you don't plan to be in the ward choir after January (choir is getting cancelled.) It's good that you aren't planning a big trip for Spring break (that would be cancelled too.) The June family vacation will still happen, but nearly everything will be rearranged so be flexible. Keep watching all those garden YouTube videos you're going to have plenty of time to garden this year. Oh and Its probably time to get a Roku. That thing will save your life.
Buy the hot tub but really, I actually feel very fortunate that we lived it up big time in 2019. We spent 100+ days traveling and I saw my 90yo Grandma and my entire extended family over the holidays so I wouldn’t do much else. Maybe I would go to the children’s museum one last time because it freaked me out precovid re: germs so I don’t think I’ll ever go back!!!
Hmmmm... maybe that with all the losses in having our social scaffolding removed, and being at home so much, that I would gain strength in family relationships, and seek God's beauty in nature.
Start homeschooling in March. Don't wait until August.
Appreciate what you have.
Get out every chance you can. Soon you will be making permanent butt marks on your couch.
Give all the hugs you can!
Buy a bunch of stocks in March.
It’s going to be okay. Be gentle with yourself, and with everyone else.
Call your grandmother.
Buy an RV now.
My Mom passed away Christmas night. When my sister asked should we have a memorial right away or wait and have it in the spring I wish I had said right away. The goal was June but now who knows when we’ll be able to have it now. Canada is smart and their numbers are way down so they’ve closed the borders.
I would have also taken a Hawaiian vacation in January... of course that could have ended in Covid so maybe not.
Buy stock in Clorox.
Buy stock in zoom, buy lots of toilet paper, find patience now for homeschooling, enjoy the time at home, enjoy Disneyland and the movie theater because they will close for a long time!
"It's going to be okay. You will be able to handle it. Your kids will be fine."
I’d give myself a list of people to unfollow before I found out just how bad they are.
I would tell myself to take a long international trip in January for my birthday. Just have a real good adventure. Probably hint at a few extra Clorox wipes from the store too.
Hurry and go to Disneyland! Now it’s either closed or you have to wear a mask.
Keep well stocked on all essentials.
I would have told myself that my 2020 goal would be to let go of the schedules and expectations... go with the flow and have fun! Roll with the punches!
Stay longer @ Costa Rica with your family, you won't see them for over a year.
“Everything will be all right in the end. So if it is not all right, it is not yet the end.”
To serve as much as possible, hug people, and spread kindness.
