How to Make the Best Out of a Summer Affected by COVID-19

There is no doubt that the Coronavirus Pandemic has affected us all, in many various ways, shapes and forms. Not only have we spent a great deal more time stuck in our houses, some more than others, but a lot of the activities and events we used to look forward to, especially during the summer, have either been cancelled or completely modified. Here are some helpful tips to ensure that despite COVID-19's presence, we can still have an enjoyable summer.

Find a Worthwhile Indoor Hobby

There are many options as to things that we can do indoors, but for this specific topic I am speaking of something that comes with benefits. For me, it would be writing, because I am talented at it and I can profit from it. For others, this may be creating things and selling them, taking online surveys or perhaps even cleaning. Anything that passes the time, keeps you in good spirits and comes with rewards as well.

Get Some Tan Lines!

If you are like me, you have become pretty accustomed to being pasty year-round. This year is our time to shine--and not because we're glowing from our pale skin! Simply stepping outside can be a huge breath of fresh air and we can find enjoyment in basking in the sun's rays. Not only can you remain safe from others and the virus by staying home, but by being outside you will not be in close quarters with anyone.

Make the Best Out of What You Can Do!

Like I stated before, some things that we are used to doing may have been cancelled due to the virus, but many of these same things will be happening, just in a modified manner. For example, if you usually go to a music festival that is jam packed with tons of sweaty concert goers, enjoy the fact that it may be limited to less people. Buy your tickets ahead of time and wear your mask! If there is not anything you can do to change it, make the best out of it!

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.
