Positivity in the time of pandemic

A few days ago, on one of the first days of social distancing, I saw a quote on Instagram that read, “When the Great Plague of London was going around in 1665, Cambridge University shut down and Isaac Newton was forced to stay home. During this time, he invented calculus, parts of optic theory and allegedly, while sitting in his garden, he saw an apple fall from a tree that inspired his understanding of gravity and the laws of motion.”

I liked the positivity and energy of that thought (no pressure intended – we aren’t all going to win Nobel Prizes for what we do in this quarantined time. And that’s okay).
