All things considered, we are doing great over here in my house. That sounds crazy right? But it's true.
*I'm laid off, but have unemployment. *Hubby is still working but with very little outside contact. *I've home schooled before, so I'm comfortable with it. Plus since I'm laid off, I have undivided time to school the kiddos. *My kids are doing really well with everything (except for the little guys fighting all the time) *We are all healthy *We have food *We are enjoying the slower pace of life, it was way too fast before If you could have told me in December that this is what life would look like in April I would have never believed it. Never. And yet here we are. Handling it. Dealing with things we never could have fathomed. You probably find yourself in uncharted territory as well. *Medical staff are dealing with sickness and death on an insane level with low supplies. *I have friends who have gone back to nursing, after leaving it, just to be a help right now. *I have a friend who is being transferred from a doctors office to a hospital in order to assist. *Myself and friends are burrowing into our stashes of fabric and sourcing elastic to make masks to keep people safe. *People are working from home . *People are homeschooling their kids. *There is loss of jobs and income. *People are dealing with loved ones dying without even being able to have a proper funeral or say goodbye. You find yourself in a position you never thought you could ever possibly handle. I will tell you this: YOU CAN DO THIS. You know why? Because you have to. You never know what you are capable of until you are thrown into the fire. When your choices are burn or figure out a way to get through it, most of us just get through it somehow. Sometimes we don't even realize how strong we were until it's over and you look back and the train wreck you just got out of. Just do the next right thing. Take it day by day, or even moment by moment if that's where you are. You will come out the other side of this. You will look back one day, still a little singed by the fire, smelling like smoke, covered in ashes and know you made it though. Just do the next right thing and you will make it. One moment at a time.
