COVID-19. Pandemic. Lockdown. Quarantine.
These are the only words we hear and read about these days. Even if we think of ourselves as sane and pragmatic individuals, the never-ending reports of statistics of cases and deaths can gnaw at our minds, causing anxiety and stress. Unchecked, they lead us to the paths of depression and melancholy.
But not all is sad and tragic. Let’s check out these heartwarming stories of people or groups whose actions and words bring some cheer and light into our homes. Hopefully, their efforts will take away a degree of the gloom and doom we have all been feeling since the coronavirus took away the world as we knew it.
Reading about these brave and thoughtful people and what they are doing may also inspire and encourage us to contribute our own ways of bringing a bit of gladness to whoever we reach.
