It's not often that we experience the luxury of time standing still. The COVID-19 pandemic has provided a glimpse of what the world feels like on pause. Is it a blessing, or a curse? Or perhaps both?!
Our family experienced a very personal pause 1.5 years ago when my hubby was diagnosed with a rare, incurable cancer. We were told to go home and get our affairs in order. In that moment, we were stunned as time stood still. Since then, many of our plans/decisions have been altered in light of the knowledge of that ticking time bomb. While it may seem like a curse, we're grateful everyday for more time to rediscover who we are.
I wonder what many of you are feeling in this moment. Are you being forced to make decisions that you would have never considered if it weren't for a ticking time bomb (i.e. pandemic, illness, job loss)? Many of us are missing loved ones, experiencing sickness/disease, a lack of income, reserves, and even supplies.
What do you do when time stands still? My hubby and I choose to pray, meditate, take nature walks, smell the flowers, listen to music, read inspirational messages, express our gratitude, and enjoy our favorite cup of Joe (coffee feeds our soul)! What are you doing to feed your soul?
