27 Tweets To Make You Smile While We Weather The Coronavirus Storm

Covid-19 is all kinds of awful and has changed our entire world. The silver lining, should we be open to seeing one, is that there has been some Twitter gold during this crazy time. We are united in a battle protecting the health of every person on this planet, and heaven knows we could all use an extra smile these days.  Enjoy 💗

1. These are exclusively the type of tweets I want to see in my feed.

4. The connections we maintain with others will help get us through.

Conversations will not be cancelled.
Relationships will not be cancelled.
Love will not be cancelled.
Songs will not be cancelled.
Reading will not be cancelled.
Self-care will not be cancelled.
Hope will not be cancelled.

May we lean into the good stuff that remains.

5. There is goodness in this world and it sounds a lot like Celine Dion.

During the quarantine, a pianist in Barcelona went to his balcony to play “My Heart Will Go On” for his neighborhood.

After he started, a sax player in the building next door joined him.

6. We can do hard things while we are #alonetogether

“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

I get the urge to to make a schedule for kids, I really do. But as I sit here in post-exposure quarantine waiting to see if my family gets sick, I also feel like can we please just give parents a break for one second? Can we just not have to make the pandemic Pinterest-worthy?
