The COVID Chronicles — Gilmore Family keeps a journal

During my senior year at Kennett High School, our English teacher had us keep a journal. A composition book, that I still have, that captured all of those #MajorMoments from 1995-1997.

In 2007, during my 2nd deployment to Afghanistan with #Team9805, I kept a #WarDiary. Again, I captured all of those experiences.

Every day, I would put in a recount of everything that had occurred during that days missions. The journal was accompanied by thousands of photos and emails home.

Back in March, when COVID first broke out in New Hampshire, we started a journal; and for the last 252 days we have recorded our family activities on Facebook, accompanied by photos and videos.

We have called it "The COVID Chronicles" aka #LockDownDiary.

It has helped us find the silver linings each day, and it has helped us keep a P.M.A. (Positive Mental Attitude) through this whole COVID experience.

Today, there was an article about it, in The Conway Daily Sun

Thank you Lloyd for capturing what we have been doing.

Hopefully others can follow suit, and start focusing on the positives in their lives, through this historic experience.

We are all in the same storm, but different boats.

Learn to appreciate the boat you are in.

Be well, be safe.

Wash your hands, wear a mask, and keep your distance.

Happy Holiday!
