Keep Livin'

Happy new month! March, for me was endings and facing new beginnings. I feel like I've been asleep with my life being on hold for a very long time. Despite all the chaos going on in our lives these days, and there's a lot of chaos in my life these days. I'm ready to reemerge and choosing to stay positive. There have been epidemics, pandemics and other hard times in the world before and we always bounce back. I'm trying my best to stay positive and optimistic. I wake up early, about 4 a.m. every day and work first on my mindset focusing on positive thoughts.  I also acknowledge and appreciate the things I am blessed with, such as my health, family and opportunity to change what I can and accept what I cannot.

I'll have to admit, the mandatory social isolation has pros and cons. I enjoy seeing people walking their dogs or with their kids, and kids playing outside without devices or video games. It is nice! Like many people I see out in the neighborhood, I take many walks with my 13 year old dog, Ninja,  to keep myself centered and de-stressed. Walking alone enables me to think and reflect. I've learned to enjoy my alone time, but walking with a family member or pet is also enjoyable. You can learn and share so much if you walk 2 to 4 miles a day, which is what I average. I'm learning to listen better, getting sunshine, enjoying nature and staying healthy.

I realize the a lot of issues are due to the Coronavirus.  It feels like a third world country at times.  For the first time since I was a kid, I find myself trying to ration food and worrying about things I took for granted like grocery shopping and being able to feed my dogs. I know everyone is being affected by this pandemic, but while it's here, sometimes there is hopelessness. Stay informed on what is happening. Here's the latest from CNN.  ttps://www.cnn.com/world/live-news/coronavirus-pandemic-04-01-20-intl/index.html

I'd like to remind everyone that though things are not as good as they usually are for many, keep in mind that there is always someone in a worse situation.  If you can help others and make a difference, do what you can. Remember to be kind. Take care and be safe by taking all precautions. Keep Livin' Ya'll. Hugs
