Every day, I remind myself….

When I’m resenting the constraints on my life right now and longing for a return to normalcy, I try my best to focus on the ways in which this enforced isolation has been a force for good in my life. The list of positives is long. I’ve had time to…
be with my husband
paint
cook
create new classes
garden
watch a new series
talk with friends on the phone
go for long walks in the spring sunshine
bake
enjoy not having a schedule
learn new skills
take a class & be a student, rather than the teacher
make plans for the future
take a deep breath and just be
The constant pressure to do and go no longer exists.
I suspect that years from now, I may even look back on this time with a sort of nostalgia. I hope you, my friends, are finding some beauty and joy in each day, too.
