I realized today, that it's been over a year since I last wrote anything. There hasn't been much of anything positive to write about in my defense. I open this page with good intentions but when I get here and see the blank white page staring at me, I close down. I lose focus. My little grey cells all run to their various corners and hibernate. It has been a rough year for me. Shit, it's been a rough year for everybody and from what I can see, it's not going to get any better. The whole world is stuck in a rut and it's going to take great individual and group effort to climb back out.
I've tried to stay positive through all of this but it gets hard some days. Even my posts on Facebook are a little bleak and dark at times. Before Covid, I was always upbeat and positive. I was always the one on your ass about staying with the plan and moving forward. Somewhere along the line, I forgot what the plan was and lost site of Plan B. I'm no longer moving forward. I'm running around in circles and getting nowhere fast. This virus has affected us in more ways than one. Soon we'll start referring to our lives as BC and AC. (Before Covid and After Covid.) Now to top things off, we have Monkey Pox on the rise. I don't even want to go there.
So now it's time for me to re-address my Plan B. My alternate plan never took into consideration a world pandemic. Stubbing my toe or putting my back out for a few days is one thing, you go to Plan B. A total global shutdown was not even considered a possibility. Suddenly we were all living in the middle of a science-fiction thriller movie.
I don't think Covid will ever leave us now and I can only imagine what lies ahead. One thing I do know is if we can't go back to the way it was, then it's time to take back as much as we can and then build on that.
Live A Good Day
