Concentric Stories 3

Jane, 03042

During the Covid 19 pandemic, I lived in the Seacoast region of New Hampshire.

At the start of the pandemic, my days were spent reading, walking the rail trail near my house, writing letters to loved ones and visiting with my granddaughters via zoom.

 

Something I learned about myself during the Covid 19 pandemic is I am a social person but I really didn’t mind the isolation as much as I thought I would.

 

I would like future New Hampshire generations to know that during the pandemic it felt like people were looking out for one another. Yes there was some division regarding masks and vaccines but for the most part there was a sense of “we are all in this together”.
