Covid

Yes, I am writing another blog about the new Covid world we live in. 

I am doing this for a purpose. I want this to be reflective for me to look back on in the coming months. I want to come back to this to remind me of where I was today. To keep me positive, strong, and continue to bring the best me, every single day. 

It is hard to believe really that we are 7 months in our world of Covid. It seems that it was just yesterday that all the panic started, and yet it also seems as it has been forever. It is almost hard to imagine what life was like before March 2020.

These last months have gone from initial panic, anger, and disbelief, to adjustment, acceptance, change, and lots of positive with the negative. 

In the coming months for me, it will be a lot of tough conversations, empathy, adversity, sadness, and anger. It will be a constant pivot, long (er) hours, and most of all, a plan to move forward from today to make a better tomorrow. 

I must continue to be at my best. Remove any judgement, empathize, and listen. There is happiness at the end of this, there is a way forward. We need to work together, and find a way. 

First and foremost, I have my family support, and understanding. This is my rock. I have my Kung Fu, which is my escape, as well as my cocoon. 

In the last several months, there definitely had been days when I just wanted it to all go away. Exhaustion, stress, anger and sadness. I came home after a long day, reflected, recharged, and got up the next day and gave my best again, a new day. 

I seen a mime today that sums it up quite nicely - 

Even though there are days I wish I could change some things that happened in the past,

there's a reason the rear view mirror is so small and the windshield is so big,

where your headed is much more important than what you've left behind. 

The past is important, and it does affect the footprint we leave, but this is more about the positive outlook on the future to me. 

I may even print it as a reminder for everyone that comes into my office. 

Stay strong, stay positive, move forward, one foot in front of the other. 

And maybe, just maybe, I will look back on this, and say to myself that it has been much better than I thought it would be. And I can smile and reflect on more happiness than sadness.
