PJ Life and Puppy Snuggle time

Hi readers! I have written several posts the past week, but they all feel so negative and a bit too honest, so I haven’t published them. I don’t want to bring more negativity, we all have enough of that as it is. But I have so many thoughts and questions and I can’t seem to be able to write about anything else, and when my brain is exploding I turn to dance and writing as my therapy.
I am scared of the future. And I am really sad about it. 

If you have an extra minute, I would like to know if I should continue to just write what’s on my mind, or should I only post when there is something positive to post about? Please let me know by writing a comment on this post.
I also want to know if any of you would like me to give tips on how to stay active at home during this time or if you want me to create for example sequences for dance/yoga/pilates to do at home. I do after all know some stuff and I’m happy to share 😉

Good Morning! Another week staying at home. How are you holding up? I have started to miss some things now. Like, going to a restaurant to eat truffle pasta or oysters, order a juicy veggie burger with fries and I miss pizzas of all kind. They still encourage everyone to order take-outs but my husband and I stopped doing that a few weeks ago, cause you never know if the people making your food has the virus, you can after all walk around with it for two weeks without knowing you have it. So, now I’m looking forward to when we get back to a more “normal” daily life when we can go out to eat or go visit friends and family.

This weekend we got a bit of better weather again, yay. So on Saturday morning we got in the car and drove to Sherwood Island State Park in Westport, CT. We got there early enough for everyone in the park and the beach to be able to keep a great distance from each other. Some people were wearing masks, others didn’t. Nice to walk by the water, it was just what we needed. Thor seemed to enjoy it a lot too, just fun to be out and about and see something other than the same blocks around our apartment. By the time we were leaving a lot more cars started to arrive and parking lot was getting full, so a good time to leave.
Before we left the park we placed an order online for a curbside pick up at the brewery in Stamford. Like I said, we do not order any take-outs now, but to pick up beer without having to interact with people is great (you stay in your car and they come out to place it in your trunk), it supports a small business. Of course, once we came home we wiped every can off with disinfect wipes. We ordered groceries online a couple of weeks ago (we were short on some things – we have after all been home for over six weeks now), they delivered it downstairs in the lobby, we brought it up and then wiped everything off in the apartment. 

Going to the beach was of course the highlight of this weekend. Everything else we did wasn’t exciting enough to share here. Nothing we do these days is exciting, for any of us. We stay at home, we keep our distance if we take our dog out, we are being as careful as we can and we are trying to entertain ourselves at home. And I hope you are doing the same.

Our world will not look the same after all this, whenever “after all this” is. We will not look at the each other the same way, we will not interact with businesses like restaurants and stores the same, we will not spend our money the same, we will be more careful, we will have extra worries and fears and we will not be able to explore the world the same way that we have before. This world shutdown is going to affect us way more than we know. I am scared, I am sad and I am worried.

But it is too big to think of for any of us. I’m trying to keep my thoughts positive and hopeful. Our minds doesn’t need extra negativity and worries at this time, it’s there either way so there’s no need to feed it. 

What I have been reading and hearing the past few days makes me feel all sort of things. What I’m most scared of is of course that anyone that we care about will get the virus and god forbid not make it (please, I beg you, stay at home!). But I’m also afraid that I won’t be able to see everyone again. Everyone is talking about “when this is over” and “when the world is back to normal”, but the thing is, there wont be a normal, not the normal we know at least, and we don’t know when or if this is going to be over. Regarding the virus, yes, they will probably find a vaccine and the pandemic will be over, but that’s not the worst part. People in this world is suffering more than ever now. Lots of people have lost their jobs and probably wont get them back “after this”. Businesses and people will go bankrupt. Countries can go bankrupt. It worries me. 
Since we don’t know what is going to happen, there is no way to know if I will ever be able to travel to my country again, if I will ever be able to see my family again. There is an entire ocean between us and I can’t just go for a swim. 

This is too much and too hard to deal with right now and since I don’t know how the future will look like, there is no need for me to feed my worries. Instead I choose to see the good things in all this, like we can talk to my family and my husbands family over the phone or facetime, my husband and I get to spend more time with each other, we can spread love even if it’s not in person and we can still laugh with people we care about. I am actively choosing to stay hopeful through this. I want there to be happy times “after all this”, I want to see my family, I want to be able to explore other parts of this world, I want to be able to eat at a restaurant again, I want to spend time with friends, I want to take dance classes in studios and I want to see smiles on peoples faces.

I’m not ignoring the horrors in my mind, but I’m trying to keep my thoughts positive and hopeful. 

/ I’m sorry for such sad post today, but I think it is important to talk about the good the bad and the ugly…and these days it’s all of those things. I hope you are staying at home, that you are healthy and I wish you a wonderful day ♥ /
