There have been ups and down since March but through it all I think I& #39;ve been harboring hope that things will go back to normal soon. They won& #39;t and the sooner we accept that the better. We need to find a way to live in this new reality instead of living in this holding pattern.

This doesn& #39;t mean I& #39;ve given up. On the contrary I choose life while I still have it. Keeping a 2 meter distance and using a mask when needed is a mild annoyance in the grand scheme of things. Social interactions can be had via the internet. It& #39;s not the same but it& #39;s something.

Yes, there are a lot of things I wish were different right now but for the sake of my mental health I need to let go of wishing for them and focus on the good things I DO have in front of me. Making the most of a situation that is mostly out of my hands.

That& #39;s not toxic positivity - it& #39;s a matter of survival. And not wasting precious time that no one knows how much of they have.

Just some Monday musings.

PS. For those who think this some type of sub tweet type of deal against the measures in place - that is not the case. I fully support and comply with what is asked of me and society as a whole. This is about finding a way to live fully within the constraints.
