Positivity in a Pandemic

In these crazy times I feel like right now is the most important time to notice the positivities of life. Don't get me wrong like many people in the world I had my anxious period at the start of this pandemic, I couldn't sleep for weeks and I remember being such a horrible person to be around until I could reach a new norm and I'm sure the lack of sleep also factored in. I spent every 5 seconds reading the news and I DON'T read the news like unless something huge is happening, I hate it ha.

Me and Glenn often sit down and with a big smile on our faces talking about everything we can be grateful about during the pandemic and I know not everyone is that fortunate but I will be forever grateful to get the extra time we got to spend with Logan and the time we got to spend refreshing ourselves and taking a breather.

The beginning of March 2020 when this pandemic started both myself and Glenn were sent home to work from home, most people I knew with kids dreaded this which made me laugh when I spoke to them (I'm sure they really loved every minute) but us we got to go home to our 11 month old Baby Boy. I had only finished maternity leave 6 months prior and I missed this little boy every second of my day which started at 5am to get up and get Logan ready and get ready for work, collect our sitter and head off for the day to only get home at 6.30pm and get an hour with him before bed which consisted mostly of getting him ready for bed and making bottles.

The amazing transition we were able to witness behind our laptop screens from baby to wobbler, moving off bottles to learning to use his own spoon and fork, from crawling to those magical first steps, his little personality changing day by day, the movies he loved one week and hated the next. We are so lucky to have gotten that time back that we would never of had the chance to get if this pandemic hadn't happened along with being able to roll out of bed at 6/7am (Only because Logan still woke up early), to bring Logan to the park during lunch and no need to sit in an hour or more of traffic on the way home.

Even now that he is alot more work, running around, climbing everything and cheekily looking at me just before he picks up something he knows hes not allowed to touch while juggling work and meeting deadlines and trying to keep the house somewhat tidy. I do love every minute of it and am going to miss it dreadfully, he starts creche next week and its going to be such a transition for us all especially after spending the last 6 months together.

Share your positivity during the pandemic with me, I would love to hear some positivity especially in this world of negativity lately. Whether its that you had some time for self love or to spend more time on your hobbies which you didn't have enough time for beforehand. Tell me, tell the world, lets share our happiness..........
