When Life Gives You Lemons

This is an incredibly stressful time for all of us. Some of us are on complete lock down while others are facing social and/or financial constraints. I think it's fair to say that we're all feeling uncertain about the future. And some, depending on their personal situation are feeling isolated and lonely.

I'm one of the lucky ones. Lily's dad delivers oil and propane so he continues to work and has minimal interactions with his clients. Lily's mom works at a resort, which is closed due to the pandemic but has kept her and a few other managers on to handle whatever comes up and (hopefully) set up for a productive summer season. They work in makeshift offices in different areas of the resort so they do not have any physical contact. We are all keeping our distance from the outside world but I still get to see Lily 4 days a week.

I live alone so this leaves me with three days a week and every single evening by myself. One bright spot I have discovered is Google Meet. My parents (who are in complete quaranteen at their assisted living facility) and other family members (who are all working from home, some in areas that have issued "stay-at-home" directives) have decided we will have "meetings" every Sunday at 2pm. I have set up meetings with some friends every Thursday evening and am attending a virtual cocktail party on Friday. This may seem lame but, trust me, it helps.

What else helps? Building my future. I have been writing and piling up an excess of articles to publish at a future date. I've been connecting with groups on social media where I can share my website contents. I've been cooking and coming up with new recipes for my website, as well as welcoming new recipes from friends and family (who, it would seem, also have plenty of time to try new things).

Life has given me lemons so I've decided to plant seeds.

Tell me, my friends, how are you doing? How are you coping? I'd love to hear from you.

All my best,

Cynthia

Very true post, Cynthia!

First, I want to say that you are doing a great job! Times like these can make us or break us; let it make you! It's so important to remain focused and positive!

I am doing great! I am coping well because of WA. I really enjoy the give and take comment thread here. You get to look at others websites and comment and they do the same in return! It's a great way to get comments on your page. I'm still going through the training as well, which also helps me during this time and for my business!

Thank you for asking my good friend!

I'm glad you're doing well and using this time to invest in your future. It WILL pay off!

It sure will!

Make lemonade! Gotta make the best of the situation as this is something no one has control over.

True story! We've all just got to roll with it the best we can. I wish you the best.
