Well it has hit our home, the dreaded COVID-19. Marty tested positive and I tested negative. Today is the third day that he’s had it and he’s not doing too bad.
His fever is down, he’s still trying to do a few things because everyone said, “Try to stay active.” We are on our third day of quarantine.
How am I doing? Well me being the extrovert person that I am, I instantly canceled a speaking engagement, canceled a hair appointment, canceled two lunch dates, a meeting I was supposed to attend and decided to settle in.
The first day I was a little sad and angry. I just went with that feeling and let myself feel it. Then I decided I may be being a little selfish and started giving more compassion to the one not feeling well.
The second day I asked my great friends from a recovery group (we do a group text everyday) to let me have a phone meeting with them the next night. They all kicked in and started showing the love…They made me cry!
I also got to make a video on my business page about self care and practice what I was saying. I have a checklist that I’m doing everyday. We got a sweet FaceTime from a granddaughter checking on Papa, I got many phone conversations with people that I don’t normally talk to and sorted out some things in my life.
Third day…which is today. Marty still holding fever down, many people letting us know that they love us and checking on us, some even bringing little gifts to us. We are finding out how many people love and care about us.
This has been the theme of my life and I’ve checked into survival mode now. Using all the tools that I’ve been given.
Gratitude is the next one. What do I have to be grateful for?
1. God and my faith.
2. Marty not being severely ill.
3. My mother still being alive and all of our family.
4. So many wonderful friends that love us and care about us.
5. Prosperity and provision.
6. America and the blessings I have had growing up here.
I will keep working on this list.
I have a friend flying in from out of town and we get to talk today.
Let’s always remember to take a pause and remember what we have. It might just help us see things from a different perspective.
Blessings to you today!
Always fight to stay positive!
Never give up!
Have faith, hope, and love always!
You deserve the best of everything!
If you need anything let us know! That is my favorite thing that people keep saying to us!!
See y’all soon!!
