Isn't it amazing how fast things change? At the beginning of this year, who would have thought that in a couple of months we were all going to be stuck home and avoiding in person contact? Now that all conferences, meetings and travel plans have been put on ice, schools and play dates are out, gyms, restaurants, bars and movie theaters closed, we are in the beginning of a time when we will really be tested for the resiliency of our spirit. So far social distancing has felt almost like a nice little break to the relentless stream of running around and activities. But I'm sure that it will get a lot harder when more time passes. Ask me how I feel in two weeks! For all the bad rap social media has been getting now is its time to redeem itself; thank goodness we have social media to keep us connected at least virtually. And maybe, when we emerge from this madness, we have learned something...the value of human in-person connection...the ability to survive without so much excess everything...that we can stop for a little while and life goes on...that we can control our thoughts and fears and make the best of any situation... My heart goes out to the nurses and the doctors in the forefront of this crisis. While we think we are inconvenienced by all this, it's nothing compared to what they are going through and sacrificing for the good of the society.
This past weekend, during our first social distancing days, the weather was thankfully gorgeous, so we got to enjoy the outdoors.
The nature is full of beautiful signs of spring.
And since we're stuck home, it's nice to have flowers home too.
We can take the time to enjoy really nice breakfast (with homemade lox!).
And come Monday, the home office is ready, Zoom has been downloaded and connectivity tested.
