It’s a weird world

This week as been quite a whirlwind of events. Seems like so much is happening and all at once. It’s starting to feel a bit frightening and I think these recent events and all the news reports in the world are making people feel very uneasy. To top it all off, my nephew was recently in a terrible accident and passed away. Loosing someone is never easy, and when it hits home and is a family member, it seems to hit even harder. We are close to our nephews mom and her family and this hurts so much. 💔 My husband and I are extremely heart broken and at a lost for words.😭 He was such a great kid, with a heart of gold. This feels so unreal, and I wish it were just a dream. Especially for my cousin. She has lost her child. Her baby. He was only 20 and still had so much life to live. Just beginning his career in the Marines. This is an unimaginable pain, that no mother should ever have to go through. I pray for strength, and guidance for our family during this time. Not just as we morn the lost of our loved one but also in these uncertain times in the economy and our world. Things deffinently feel strange and uncertainty seems scary. But I won’t live in fear. 🙅🏽‍♀️ I will do my best to keep aware of things and make sure my family is safe, healthy, and taken care of. Just as I normally would. (But being even more aware and cautious now is important too.) This is something everyone should be doing already. Not just because times seem troubling and uncertain. We should always keep in touch with family and friends, loved ones and those we care about. Not just during a ”pandemic”. Check in and say hi, schedule some time together, catch up and see what’s new. I know people’s lives get busy and we probably don’t hang out or communicate with our loved ones as much as we should. It happens. But I am happy to see there is some unity and togetherness still, even in time of panic. And that’s what we need to hold to. We need to remember to be kind and considerate, because we don’t know anyone’s situation during this so called “pandemic”. I never thought, or even imagined such a thing happening in my life time. I believe the best we can do is stay positive, keep faith and hope alive, and just be aware. Help those who need it, be considerate, and remember we are all in this together. Everyone’s nerves are on high alert, so we need to work together to get through this. It will all pass. I don’t have much to write this week because I‘ve been emotionally drained. I am enjoying this extra time with my family at home though. It really does help ease my mind when we keep busy and do things together. Since we can’t go out much during this time, we have to make the best of the situation. The best way for me to do this is by limiting my social media use. Especially leaving my phone inside when I go outside to play with my daughter. (I may bring it out for a little for pics and fun videos though😉) Being in the present, not constantly looking down and scrolling. Even when spending time with my husband at night, once my daughter is asleep, I’ll put my phone away and limit my use. I’ve actually been making this a habit even before all these events have occurred. Don’t get me wrong, I still make my videos, chat with my IG friends, make tiktoks😂😂 I guess it’s all about balance. We all need it, and have to find what works best for us!

I do hope everyone is safe, and has their essential needed for their family. Continue to check on your loved ones, especially the elderly and sick. Remember to not let fear take over you. Surround yourself with love and good energy. ❤️
