I have blogged daily for one year. Am I going to take a break? Nope! My philosophy is to keep on blogging because its fun. During these days we have a chance to blog and tell the world our wacky stories.
Friends, it’s the first Tuesday in April and I hope all is well. I have read where some are getting a little antsy about what’s going on. We all need to chill because no one knows how long this will go. It’s important to care for ourselves and one another (of course from a distance). We can do this if we cooperate as a global and local community. Mutual support is so important these days. Everything I have just said applies to me too. My friends, be strong, be courageous, be kind.
In this time of uncertainty, patience is a divine virtue. Have patience with yourself, with one another, with the circumstances we are in. Everyone is going through something and we all wish things were back to “normal”. It is my thought that we aren’t going back to “normal” but something else that will require us to have patience and a whole lot of grace for one another.
Who knows what things will look like on the other side. It will require patience and hopefully freedom from anxiety.
My friends, now is the time to be still, take care of self, have a little faith in something that will get you through. Remember to love one another and yourselves in this very difficult time.
Be grateful that you have slowed down, and that life has more meaning these days. Even in these tough times, you have an opportunity to regain a part of you that was lost. May this new normal be long-lasting.
The title of this blog is pretty much what you think its about. Most everyone is keeping a healthy distance so we can flatten the curve. Doing our part is a must these days. With over 105,000 cases of the virus reported its something everyone should take seriously.
My heart goes out to the sick and suffering. Grace and peace to those who are lost and to those who survive.
That doesn’t mean we cannot connect with one another through other means. I cannot imagine what this would be like without the Internet. Many of us would go crazy mad. Now is a good time to catch up on things you enjoy doing but haven’t had time for.
Spending more time at home has been a change of pace for many but in the end it will be good to not be so scheduled and busy. Technology is helping many pass the time. Hopefully this means we can take care of self a little more. Dare we say boredom is a good thing?
My friends hang in there. Have faith. Be strong. Don’t let social distancing mean you are socially distant.
The secret of crisis management is not good vs. bad, it’s preventing the bad from getting worse.
