What’s happening in the world right now?

It’s hard to say, it really is what I do know for sure is that in our household, we’re all experiencing a rollercoaster of emotions.

We’re being very careful, wearing masks to the few places we go. I haven’t been in a grocery store since this all began in mid-March. I do pick up and occasionally delivery.

I have been venturing out to Target but only when they FIRST open for the day. That’s pretty much it.

The mental exhaustion is there. I try to ignore but it creeps in, rearing its ugly head through zero motivation.

Me…not motivated. I pride myself on staying busy and most of all being productive, especially when it comes to work! Motivation has been very difficult lately. I end up getting my work done but it’s very tough to stay productive.

It’s the uncertainty. Constantly asking when will this end? Am I being safe enough? Honestly, a lot of the times it makes me want to stay in bed all day.

I’ll admit though, I have been reading more which is nice. With that and lots of home improvement projects I’ve been motivated.

I’m also constantly racked with guilt on wanting to just…retire. My brother Mario always tells me it’s nothing to feel guilty about. He says it’s great and I can tell he loves it.

Most of the time, I’m tired of checking e-mail and having to keep up with work. But when I write something with purpose and meaning, which has been the norm lately, I’m immensely proud.

My favorite candle, keeping me calm.

Decisions, decisions. Let’s see what happens. For now, I’ll keep lighting my candles, which provide me with a sense of calm while I work.

One thing is for sure, I count my blessings every day. I’m very lucky that I have my health and so does my family and that I have work to do!
