Quarantine Diary: Day Twelve

Today is FRIDAY? Lol, say what!? I saw a humorous Tweet the other day that said, “It’s Tuesday, or as we call it now: day.” Ain’t that the truth! Anyone else feeling the days seamlessly blending together?

I’m used to working from home so the staying in aspect isn’t new to me and I actually don’t mind it. But having the rest of the world shut down as well has been surreal. Not being able to attend my physical therapy, leisurely run errands, or hug a friend has just been straight up bizarre.

What fascinates me most is the fact that for so long, humans were completely wrapped up in their cell phones and technology, instead of what was right in front of them. This crisis and the social distancing it has required has allowed us to witness something deeply meaningful and profound about ourselves: our fond and intensely felt wish to be connected with one another.

No matter the situation in life, my soul always chooses to have faith, hope and know that everything will work itself out. Yes, this situation is major, yes, the future remains uncertain, but, eventually, this crisis will pass. And when it does, I know humans will emerge back into the world with more kindness, gratitude and overall goodness than ever before.

As for now? All we can do is live in the moment & take this time to reflect and nurture meaningful relationships.

As the beautiful saying goes that has been displayed on posters dangling from Italian balconies, “Andra Tutto bene!” - Everything’s going to be alright.

Sleep well, my loves.
