Two weeks ago I was laid off. I had just gotten my 2nd negative result after being infected from COVID-19 which had me confined to the hospital for 3 weeks. Now this. It isn’t easy going thru 2 consecutive blows, on top of all the other changes currently going on around us. Welcome to the new normal.
But despite this seemingly “bad” situation, this is turning out to be a long awaited opportunity. An opportunity to stop, think and reflect. An opportunity to have time to connect with others. An opportunity to work on building more meaningful relationships. An opportunity to cook more. An opportunity to exercise again. An opportunity to read. An opportunity to learn new skills online and practically. An opportunity to start a new hobby. An opportunity to start working on those ideas you’ve been wanting to work on for a long time.
After thinking and wanting to do many things over that past few years, I have finally decided to start doing. Hence, Today in this new normal, I decided to write and publish my first blog post. This is a way I can put into words all the thoughts and reflections I have gathered over the past days, months, years and share them with others in hopes to bring encouragement to those who are going thru similar things that I have gone thru. I believe in this way I can serve others.
There are so many thoughts and reflections to write about. So many things that have gotten me thru these and other tough times which I shall be sharing in the coming blogs. I just had to take the 1st step today. A step of faith, hope and courage to keep moving forward in this new normal.
How about you? What are your thoughts of on this new normal?
