Today I heard my daughter cry as she learned that Ruth Bader Ginsburg had passed away. She's interested in becoming a judge so this hit her hard. Then she broke the news to me. It was right after I heard a report saying we'd reached 200,000 deaths from Covid-19 in the United States alone.
There are so many things that haven’t gone the way we’d planned this year. The number of small disappointments my children have endured is painful to watch and it’s easy to get caught up in them.
How are you handling the disappointments?
Have you found a way to stay positive? Have you discovered a great new book or hobby? Are you gardening like never before? Have you taken on a home project? Let me know what you are doing.
As a parent of a high school senior, I’m taking advantage of all the extra family time I get to spend with her before she heads off to college a year from now. My younger daughter and I are sewing up a storm. We’ve painted the family room and you wouldn’t believe the blackberries that came from our garden this summer. There is also a bit of binge watching going on in our home.
It's taking more effort to stay positive. The other day I went out to lunch with someone and we actually laughed out loud. It was wonderful. What is helping you stay positive?
There are many reasons to be stressed out right now. Don’t let real estate be one of them. If there is anything I can do to help you, let me know. And please, share what you are doing to stay positive during this incredibly odd year. It may help someone else stay cheerful.
