Morning Routine Upside Down
Good Morning/ Good Night America, what a beautiful new day or in my case night. While everyone is saying good morning, I told good night, as you can see my life, it is upside down or backward? It is up to you how do you want to call it. I have two jobs, and I am two months away from finishing College. What this has to do with this story? Well, I work nighttime, so when everyone is waking up, I am going to sleep, simple as that. My morning will be in the afternoon. I would say around 2 pm. I wake up, check my phone for messages. In Social media, emails, WhatsApp messages, text messages, etc. After that I jump in the shower, take a nice hot shower, I am not too fond of cold showers. After bathing I brush my teeth, dry my hair (very important), you have to look your best. And your hair is like a picture frame. It has to be perfect. In my opinion!

Living my best life
How do you live through a pandemic? How do you live each day missing your family and proceed to live? It is not easy, but I make a conscious effort to rise each day and live my best life! First I rise early go for a 30 minute walk return home prepare a nice breakfast. I turn into something uplifting like Disney+ ! Since I’m in the high-risk group over 60 with underlying medical condition I have stopped working, too many people not obeying the wear your mask and I have decided I want to be here to see my grandchildren grow up. So, I can see them again after this war on the world. This week I was afforded a sneak peek into Disney as a passholder, it was great to be out it was great to see what Disney is doing to keep me safe! It was great to be in my happy place. My sister and I went together and even though we don’t live together we do a little social distancing even when we are strolling through Disney! Lunch was At the Flame Tree bbq restaurant- I had chicken, baked beans, slaw and the most amazing cream cheese cupcake! Back to my day, I make sure to get out of my chair every 60 minutes even if I’m just walking around the house. I go outside and check on my rosebushes, breathe the fresh air, take out the trash, take out the recyclables and then I come back and sit down with my iPad play a few games of bingo, words with friends or spades with Dwyane Wade. I’m keeping up with my binge watching I started with Eureka and now I’m onto Warrior Nun in between I rewatch the latest version of Jumangi! I love to laugh and Jumangi is funny. After lunch and dinner I put on my walking tape and get some walking aerobics in then back to my chair back to my TV . Before bed I pray, I pray for myself, I pray for my family. I pray for this world and when will get a handle on what’s attacking us right now so things will go back to some sense of normalcy. I long for my family, I long for hugs for my grandchildren and my children and I long to interact with my friends but I won’t let it get me down! I have a part-time business that affords me the opportunity to Conduct Facebook parties and zoom parties. I get on my zoom meetings with my team and I interact with friends and customers on Facebook. Some things are set in stone and some are off the cuff but everything combined keeps me waking up each day with a purpose. Many of the streaming services have stepped up their game! To keep my sanity I watched educational programs like National Geographic’s draining the oceans, which uncovers amazing history underwater. Then I move onto the cosmos which I found both on Disney+. We added Apple TV today and I was able to experience Greyhound with Tom Hanks and begin Defending Jacob. Another way I get fresh without walking is take out. I look forward to treating myself to not cooking a few times a week! My purpose is to live my life in the best way I can With a plan and a grateful heart!

Re-building Your Mindset
Listen to the Audio Commentary while you read! It was the first week of the covid-19 shutdown in America. Amber Ivers was among the first dancers I knew to teach over ZOOM, create a viral dance challenge, and host live yoga on Instagram and Facebook. Honestly, while she was zooming, I was still in shock; Ruminating over the shattered pieces of my life. Like millions around the world, I had big plans for 2020. Career moves! A dream job in my grasp! Yet, by March 2020, we all watched in stunned silence how each and every hope for 2020 dissolved into nothingness. What I didn't know, was how deeply my friend Amber Ivers was also affected by the industry shutdown.

Aphorisms From the Office
On hearing gossip Whenever you are approached by someone who’s intent is to gossip about a mutual acquaintance or friend, listen intently and ask yourself two questions: if what they say is a lie, then what evil are they up to? If it is the truth, then what kind of person divulges the secrets of others for thrills? Then remain silent, it will say much more to them than what they have said to you.
