Corona-virus/ Covid19

What a turn our world has taken. The corona-virus has attacked so many of us now. It does not discriminate, young, older, healthy, unhealthy, it doesn't matter. This Virus is attacking everyone. I have been reading/watching the news and all of this is very scary and our future is uncertain at this point in time. We need to do our part and stop the spread. The only way we can do that is if we abide by the "stay at home" orders. For most of us, we will be working from home and/or staying home. All the kids are out of school, no socializing over groups of 10, and only leaving your house for essentials. I think by the time this is "over" the word "Essential" will bring on a whole new meaning. Washing our hands is more important than ever and distancing ourselves from everyone is the most important. I don't think we need to panic or hoard, but we do need to take this virus seriously and be conscious of our soundings and our cleanliness. Protect yourself and look out for your family and friends. Provide assistance as much as you can for the elder, while also taking care of yourself. Respect each other, care for each other, stay humble, and be kind during these uncertain times. It's global ya'll. China was the main break out of the virus, Italy didn't act fast enough and people on the cruise ships were not monitored/quarantined long enough. Someone dropped the ball. 

For myself and my husband, we are still working. It's very scary going into work not knowing what harmful germs we could potentially catch while we are out. While both of us our doing our best to distance ourselves from people, there are still the ignorant people that don;t care or understand the severity of this virus. 

My husband works for a small company and can basically quarantine himself in his office with his two other co-workers, they do not see outside business. I, on the other hand, I am in an industry where I am surrounded by all kind of people on a regular. We have taken safety precautions and limited our lobby. We are conducting phone interviews/screening and are only allowing our lobby to people that we have scheduled in advance. But for the most part, our lobby doors are locked. Our business in increasingly slowing down. Our customers are shutting down slowly. We do have some essential customer that will be staying open during this pandemic. And I fear for the most. 

It was just announced today that Prince Charles has tested positive for the corona-virus. Hopefully they were able to quarantine him in time and he did not spread it to anyone else. 

The US now has more confirmed cases than any other country. I hope everyone can stay safe and safe healthy! God Bless America!

Cultivating relationships

Maintaining relationships demands effort; it's a mutual journey. Each party contributes, and amidst this exchange, bonds form—be it friendships or deeper connections. Some relationships necessitate more investment; sometimes, it feels like you're carrying the weight alone, striving to sustain the connection. Personally, I've struggled with nurturing friendships; perhaps due to youthful ignorance, where life felt boundless, consequences seemed distant, and self-centeredness prevailed. As age brings maturity, many friendships naturally drift away amid life's chaos and the challenges of adulthood. Reflecting on my past interactions often astonishes me; how did I manage any healthy relationships back then? Truthfully, I didn't. Those who I once considered friends, or who considered me as such, have vanished, leaving behind only fragmented memories—thanks, memory loss. Although forgetfulness might seem a blessing, the impressions we leave behind persist. This notion unne...

I'm being selfish

This week has been a whirlwind of emotions that I struggle to articulate. Attending the funeral of a childhood friend's father, who passed away unexpectedly, opened floodgates of nostalgia and sadness. We shared a bond through our mutual love for horseback riding, receiving our first ponies almost simultaneously. While we've drifted apart as adults, the news hit me hard. Our parents, similar in age and pursuits, faced the unimaginable loss of a husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend. Witnessing my friend's grief and contemplating my own future in their shoes brought tears of empathy and fear. The inevitability of losing loved ones, a reality we often push aside, looms ominously. Reflecting on my relationship with my family, I realize how it's evolved over the years. From distant ties to a profound dependency, I now find solace and support in them daily. When my father suffered a heart attack, I was thrust into a surreal state of emotional numbness, only to cr...
Wow, it’s been a while since my last post in April! This year has been a whirlwind—it’s incredible how time flies. Big milestone: I turned 40! I still can’t believe it. I don’t feel 40, though; my mind says 20, but my body sometimes feels 70. 😅 I was lucky to celebrate with my family and closest friends, and my parents surprised me with my very first Louis Vuitton. She’s stunning! I also completed my MSF course, which means I can legally ride my motorcycle now! I recently took my Triumph Bonneville T120 on its first solo ride to work. It was nerve-wracking but exhilarating, and I’m hooked! My next dream bike is the Triumph Scrambler, so I can join my husband on some dirt road adventures. Unfortunately, I got hit with a really bad bug and was in bed for a week, which wiped out all my PTO for the year. This year marked our 10th wedding anniversary, and my parents gifted us a trip to Italy! With no more PTO left, we’ve had to push it to next year, but honestly, I feel good about having ...
