So, my planned hiatus has been put on the back burner as I have found it virtually impossible to keep up with the latest news by not partaking in social media. As we all social distance, quarantine, wear masks, limit essential shopping, endlessly wash and bathe our hands in soap and sanitizer, virtual school our kids, watch mass on youtube, facetime our family and friends, and maneuver through the endless amounts of fact vs. myth, statistics, memes, press conferences, and local-national-global news, what are we doing so we don't lose our minds over this overwhelming amount of daily pandemic chaos?
For me, I created my "save my sanity" spot where I can escape outside, drink out of my favorite coffee mug, listen to the birds, enjoy my tropical garden, and remind myself, oh yeah, it is Springtime! It is my place to "Bee Happy" as my pillow suggests, delve into sights, colors, tastes, and sounds that make me happy, and most importantly, have a couple of minutes each day to peacefully remember what I am still grateful for through this highly unusual time. Creating this space that inspires and reflects me has truly been my saving grace. It comforts me and re-energizes me when I return back into the coronavirus lifestyle we have become necessarily accustomed to. What are you doing for your own mental health or well being through this time?
