After school was cancelled it wasn't long before many other things followed.
Church - cancelled.
Dance - cancelled.
Scouts - cancelled.
Baseball practices - cancelled.
Can we just cancel 2020 all together?
I'm really not trying to complain. I did at first, but now I'm realizing that there's no point in complaining. I recently read a book from Jennie Allen called GET OUT OF YOUR HEAD, which talks about how to remove toxic thoughts and turn them into positive, godly thoughts. So, we could either complain about the current situation or we can seek to find the good in it. The choice is ultimately ours.
A friend recently stated that she believes this is a way to bring families together and help them reconnect. I love that! Truly, God can take any awful situation and turn it into something amazing. So, if you feel stuck at home because plans are cancelled I encourage you to reach out to family members and friends, especially those who you haven't talked to in a long time. It's also important at this time to reach out to elderly neighbors. The elderly are the ones who will be most affected by this. So far in the United States there have been 55 deaths because of the Coronavirus and most have been senior citizens with weak immune systems. This is a very dangerous virus for them. Because of my mother's condition my father made the choice to keep her home and away from people.
This is such a terrible thing and it's already driving me crazy but we can make it into a good thing too. Not only to reconnect with others but to unwind from busy lives. I've been using this time for spring cleaning and reorganizing. My house definitely could use it and I haven't had the time before.
In other news, HAPPY PI DAY math geeks!
