Hummingbird with Blue Flowers
Now that we are heading out of the Covid crisis and seeing some light at the end of the tunnel, it might be a good time to record all of the positive things that have happened during this time. Cancelled art shows and postponed workshops meant a hit to the income and shortages of supplies that we took for granted are sobering.
Hey, I’m down to my last pair of painting gloves.
Still, I’m grateful for these past weeks. The overnight shutdown of outside commitments felt like space to breathe. It gave me time. Time uncluttered with endless to do lists, places I had to be and urgent meetings.
Suddenly my days became totally mine. Of course they always were, I just didn’t realize it when I was racing off to the next event in my over-scheduled life.
I ‘ve been able to do things I have been putting off for someday:
raking the leaves out of the hedges (they’ve been piling up for 4 years!)
making more phone calls,
painting almost every day,
finally creating videos and discovering how much I enjoy connecting with people from all over the world,
learning new programs and tech stuff (it was time consuming so got put off to the someday category).
The big ah ha was this:
spring came anyway,
the hummingbirds came back,
anyone I knew who had the virus recovered
and the most important thing is relationships with people.
I am so grateful for you who send me messages, comment on my posts, watch the video, or read what I write.
I would love to hear about what blessed you during this period. What did you learn about yourself? What did you finally have time and space to do?
