Day 3- 3/18/20


I don't think anyone would have imagined just one week ago that we would be sitting at home for weeks waiting for a virus to stop causing panic and fear in our world.  Every day I wake up thinking maybe I'm dreaming but... nope.  Here we all are in this social distancing life.

I always look for hope in every situation.  It annoys the crap out of a lot of people, but it just makes sense to me.  Resilience is an amazing thing.  I often look at my kids and think we are creating a generation of kids right now.  They had the world on a silver platter one week ago with everything at their finger tips and in 3 days, they are living a completely different life.  No school, no social interactions.  Two weeks ago I directed our school musical with hundreds of people and 60+ kids.  Now it is silence. 

I find it interesting how quiet and distance has brought about a calm in myself.  I try to pray and make time for me on a usual day, but this was actually difficult on the first days.  Like, we can't go anywhere!  What the hell are we going to do!?  Oddly on a run with my kids today, I saw things I haven't ever observed.  In the midst of chaos, my kids were running together, doing Tic Tok dances, and singing to my phone playing music.  Mia has let Brad move into her room and made a space for his bed because he is having problems sleeping.  Two days ago, he wasn't even allowed in her room!  LOL!  Their nightly journal helps them process their thoughts and I chuckle when reading that even in all this crazy, Mia is still begging us to adopt another child.  Oh, Mia.  Right now we are going to stick with what we have unless God says otherwise.https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1C4OtUHZdgKCHJJaiSRl41jdNm48r4Yo3
