corona craziness

what a time to be alive… am i right?! i started and stopped many different sentences in this post. I have a list of complaints that i planned to share… money, home school woes, missing my grandparents, fear of the unknown … the list goes on and on. I was prepared to go into detail about how aggravated i am feeling about what is going on in the world but i stopped. does anyone really want to hear that? we all have something going on…. why are my problems any more important than the next persons? they aren’t.

so instead i am going to share some positive things that have been happening in my life as of late. in the spirit of trying to find the light in a very dark time.

i have had the opportunity to spend a lot more time with my 2 favorite girls (and nick but he is more of the true social distancer and just wants to play ps4 … and this is ok). while not every moment is sunshine and rainbows… we really do make the most out of our time together. i really enjoy spring…. all of the pretty trees and flowers… while the weather has been a bit wet and grey lately, we managed to catch a couple sunny days and took advantage of them! all while social distancing, don’t worry!

i love that they are always down for a photoshoot. girls after my own heart! since we can’t ask anyone to take a picture of us we have tried to get creative with the timer… it’s not always easy but we have managed to get a couple group pics!

i cleaned out my closet and my bedroom. while this doesn’t sound like a big deal i really never could find the time for a deep clean before… until now. “thanks” corona! i am not stopping with my bedroom and closet… by the time this mess is over i plan to have every room organized! fingers crossed.

i want all of this to be over just as much as the next person but until that happens i am just going to keep reminding myself to appreciate the little things. we will never have this day again so try to make it a good one! be a decent human being and don’t ignore the guidelines in place. no one is untouchable in this. if it’s not you that is directly impacted you may unknowingly spread it to a loved one… or a perfect stranger and cause distress in their lives. keep your distance from people, wash your hands, sanitize your home often and order take out now and then… the restaurants need our help as well!

we will get through this people!!! and i know i personally won’t take for granted the simple day to day things that i have in the past. my heart goes out to all of the people who have lost loved ones or those with underlying health conditions … it wasn’t long ago that i was one of those people … and i am grateful to not be in that position right now. be kind to each other, we are all struggling.

soon we will be able to visit relatives or enjoy happy hour … the sooner that we all follow the guidelines the sooner this will all be over.

& to think i couldn’t wait to start a new decade. good grief! hang in there, friends! xo
