I never realized how having our daily and in publick routines contributed to emotional and mental health. My teenage daughter was way happier going to school, hanging with friends, etc. Hell, all of us were better when we were able to socialize and not worry about catching Covid19 from going to the store.

We're all suffering but making time for walks, board games, and simple social distanced gatherings takes the edge off. Keeping everyone mentally and emotionally strong is such a priority that it feels exhausting sometimes.
