I have never in my life witnessed such a strange time. There have been illnesses that have reached North America, but nothing quite like the Covid-19 virus. This picture is one of my last sessions before things got pretty serious and they started telling us to stay inside when possible. Thanks, @BrennaBartley for being my model in these weird unknown times.
It’s a very interesting time for everyone right now. People are being laid off to try and stop the spread of the virus. We are told to stay home. We are told to only go out if its absolutely necessary and to outings to picking up essential things only. Grocery stores and other essential businesses are taking extra precautions for the warriors who are still coming to work to make sure we are able to still buy food and other items in these trying times.
I’m sure a lot of people aren't used to spending this much time at home. I wonder if Netflix and other streaming services have seen a large increase in their subscriptions lately because I am sure many people are trying to pass the time by binge-watching all the series they may have.
I hear many moms are going stir crazy being locked up with their children too. I feel as though that’s perfectly fine to feel that way. No one can stay cooped up in their home for days on end and still have their sanity 100%. Go outdoors! Enjoy the sun!! enjoy walks in the park, but remember AVOID playgrounds because those places can be breeding grounds for germs! I have seen a lot of cool crafts and games that families are coming up with to keep their children occupied too! People are sharing these ideas all over social media, and I am happy to see even through all this, people are still coming together to help one another out!
The workout community is also on the rise! I recently joined a FB group for a 4 week workout while this is going on and being apart of such a motivating group is amazing! Even though the gyms are closed people are still willing to come together to make sure people can still work out!
The government has also come up with many ways to help those who have lost their jobs or been laid off in order to pay their bills or certain kinds of financial relief. Thank goodness for this because many people and businesses’ are in a real financial strap right now!
Whoever thought Social Distancing would become a known thing? I sure didn't. People, everyone cannot stress this enough! STAY HOME IF YOU ARE SICK. Stay 6 feet away from anyone you do not live with if you are out for a stroll or a walk in the park. I understand everyone cannot stay cooped up in their homes 24/7 but please keep in my of your surroundings, and be CAUTIOUS. WASH YOUR HANDS. DO NOT TOUCH DOOR HANDLES, RAILINGS. Wash your hands when you get home from an outing so you do not spread germs around your home.
What are you doing to stay healthy, happy, occupied during this time??
