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!
