Have you found the blessing in the corona virus yet?
I have…
The slowdown in living has allowed me to notice all sorts of opportunities. For example:
- I have time to reach out to old friends and family with whom I have been out of touch.
- I have been able to share things I had too much of with folks who need those things.
- I have had a chance to offer strength, hope and faith to others who are failing in spirit due to all this.
- I have noticed the things I used to take for granted, and appreciate them.
- I have been able to figure out how to patronize local businesses from the curb or from the internet so that they have a chance to keep going.
- I have helped folks get comfortable with telehealth and internet counseling.
- I have had a chance to express my love and appreciation to the people closest to my heart.
- I have had a chance to remember how to cry and mourn.
- I have had a chance to memorialize the losses.
- Gardening!!!
- I have cooked and enjoyed things from the back of the freezer.
- I have had time to take more walks.
- I have absorbed poetry sent over the internet to inspire and sustain me.
- I have done on-line learning …new skills to help my clients, new ways to do old tasks.
- I have cleaned out junk drawers, closets, cabinets, attic, basement.
- I have come to appreciate the fragility of life.
What about you? Has there been a silver lining for you? Even among the moments of anguish and pain?
