""I think God's going to come down and pull civilization over for speeding." ~Steven Wright

I think He just did.  

This virus has forced us to literally drop everything we were doing and everything we were all planning in just a matter of days. It has thrown some into panic and others into outrage. We are all waiting for the punchline. Like this is a joke right?! It is like a really bad meme and we are living right in the middle of it.  

It's a huge inconvenience.

OR

Is it a blessing?

We are being given the opportunity here to stop and breathe (albeit on our own because breathing near others may be cause for catching Corona, lol).  How many times are we given this chance? And I don't mean like during the holidays or spring break.  During those times we are still rushing around buying gifts, planning parties, packing for a trip, wrapping up our work projects so we can pick up and leave. 

Now, everything has stopped. Everything has been cancelled. We can literally. do. nothing.  

If we are healthy we need to count our blessings, we need to keep those who are sick in our thoughts and prayers, we need to reach out and offer help to those who may need it. If we are sick we need to take care of ourselves and get better. 

You know what is safe right now? Nature. Nature is safe. Go outside with your family and breathe the fresh air and feel the sun on your face. Listen to your thoughts.

This time will pass and we will be back to the grind and the craziness.
