Sick of Quarantine!


I know that you are sick of quarantine just like I am!

The Downside

The down side of quarantine is not being able to go to the park. This time of year my family and I would be at the cherry blossom festival in our town. We are "park people", we enjoy taking family walks and visiting different parks. My family and I also like to do window shopping at the mall. My family and I not being able to go to church to celebrate Easter was difficult. Not being able to see family and friends has also been difficult. Most of us are facing unemployment during this global pandemic. Let's not forget the essential workers who are scared, because they are risking their lives everyday by going to work. My husband is among those essential workers and I worry about him. Everyone is facing some hardships during this pandemic, our lives have changed over night and we are all feeling the pressure. Remember, We are living in a collective traumatic experience you are not alone. If you are going through hardships right now, your concerns are understandable. Perseverance is the key in these difficult times.

The Upside

The upside of quarantine, is that we have gotten closer as a global community. We are all in this together and we have rallied together with the hashtags and encouragement. There has been a lot of positive and uplifting messages exchanged virtually. There are many volunteers out in the community helping other in need. We are rallying together as one community, we are leading with compassion.  During this time I feel safe at home with my children. We have gotten closer as a family being home, we have family game night and other activities. We try to keep a routine as much as possible, but leave plenty of room to be keep things simple. Laughter is oh so important for us during these uncertain times. We are going to keep the positive vibes as much as we can. Wishing you happiness good health and happiness!
