We are coming to end of 2020 and in some ways things are looking more hopeful and less restricted when it comes to COVID-19 in Australia. But many people are still struggling after the trials of the year and current challenges. We’d like to hear where you’re at.

So can you post 3 words that describe how you’ve been feeling about COVID-19?

Also if you attended our previous reflection event ‘Comfort in Chaos’ and described where you were at back then in 3 words, how have your feelings about world events changed since then?

For me, 3 words that describe where I'm at with COVID-19 right now are:

Tired, grateful, and uncertain. 

[TideisTurning]

For me, tired, relieved, cautiously optimistic. Oops that was four words... @Judi9877 how about you?

[Judi9877]

I agree with you @Tortoiseshell . My word would be: uncertain, confused, frustrated.

I can relate to that too @Judi9877 .

Wow @BlueBay that sounds hard! Also welcome!

Heya @BlueBay, lovely to have you here ❤️️

It seems like tireness, exhaustion, and uncertainty are some pretty common experiences with where people are at so far 🌻
