Well, this week I think, at least for me, was a little easier.. I feel more settled into this new normal. I am working from home every other day for the foreseeable future. I still have anxiety about it all and it still worries me to no end, but I think I have my wild thoughts under some control.
This week, I noticed, that people seem to be more calm as a whole. People are reaching out to see if others need help grocery shopping; reaching out to friends and family via text, calls, and facetime; making masks for the healthcare workers; providing free coffee to first responders and healthcare workers; sharing more memes to lighten the mood and provide emotional comfort to one another. This is a hard time for everyone and I believe that everyone is taking comfort in that- we are all in this together, as the nation and as the world. I loved seeing how people are coming together, but not (because social distancing) and helping one another. We might be in a pickle for the time being but compassion and kindness seem to be really shining through.
These are my favorites from this week:
Dr. Elvis Francois/// Did you see this? His voice is AMAZING! What a gift he has and he is sharing it with his patients and now the world. Out of the craziness of his day, he has time to sing and inspire. Well done Dr. Francois!
Silver Linings During COVID-19 Quarantine///All news is not bad; this story is filled with feel good stories about the good things that are happening during all of this. Spoiler Alert: it is filled with family time, new hobbies and tackling dreaded chores but making it fun.
Zoom Meetings// I have never heard of Zoom before this Quarantine but I am sure glad technology is so amazing. Now I don’t use this for work, I use it to attend live yoga classes and it has become one of my favorite things to log into. Getting to connect with people from all over through the internet is truly amazing.
Laughter// To make you all laugh here are some of my favorite memes from this week:
Stay healthy, be safe, be smart and always be kind.

I have yet to try my jeans on… that's going to be a day of reckoning with all the comfort food cooking and baking I've been doing! Have a great weekend!
