Staying at home isn’t easy, but it’s essential to help keep us safe. That said, there are a lot of complications that come with staying at home. If you have kids and live in a small apartment, it can be hard to deal with. And if you don’t live with your parents, it can be really tough to adjust to not seeing them every day. Even though TODAY host Hoda Kotb has a family of her own, she admitted that being away from her mother has been the hardest part of her experience with social distancing. She’s missing her mom and trying hard to keep it together.
“I was just thinking about the people who are all by themselves,” Hoda said on TODAY with Hoda and Jenna. “I’ve got to tell you, my mom is staying so positive. She’s by herself at home, but she’s like, ‘Hey, look, I’m outside at the water!’”
While Hoda’s mom is staying safe and keeping to herself, it’s still a strange situation that Hoda probably never thought would be a reality. “She’s by herself taking selfies, and there’s nobody around her,” she said. “She talks about how beautiful the water is. She says she brings her coffee with her in the mug I gave her, and she’ll take a picture of it.”
If anything, Hoda’s lovely mom should be an inspiration. She’s proving that anyone can make the most of this strange time we’re in. Sure, it may be hard to be optimistic. But still, it’s a rewarding trait to stay positive.
