I think everyones brains will be forever a little changed after this, both for good or bad. When you think about it whether people have been ill or not, lost loved ones or not the whole experience has been a trauma. For me the hardest thing has been seeing the children struggle and not understand. I have a huge ball of joy waiting in my chest for when we can go see family again, its fragile and I am so worried it won't happen but we all live in hope. Stay safe and take care.

Apart from having hubby home and developing a love of puzzles, our lives really didn't change that much. I think I've been suffering from coronanxiety in general (as a home loving introvert, I really enjoyed iso) and worrying not just about the effects of the pandemic on my loved ones but the wider community and the world. I think life for all of us is going to be quite different and there are so many unknowns. I find it really unsettling so just take one day at a time and find joy in the little things and the new freedoms as they happen.Sammie @ The Annoyed Thyroidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10326825231887812726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119733539095505639.post-75037398480131577592020-05-23T15:58:19.554-07:002020-05-23T15:58:19.554-07:00Yes.

Still waiting to see if I can get the money back from the hotel (in a State we aren't allowed to travel to...but it's an International hotel chain so they haven't released their policy...). Lost money aside, I'm more disappointed that I'm missing the band and party planned...Lydia C.

I had my ear buds in and my 80s music playing. I was actually skipping and dancing down the path all by myself. I realised what I was doing and thought "am I actually going mad?" I figured I looked like an insane woman. My kids would DIE. But the feeling inside me was pure childlike joy! I mean ... is that normal? Nope. Not for me! I can conjure it up when I need it, but this was natural. A pure high created from experiencing life for the first time. Crazy crazy stuff.

And also being able to go to the fresh food market which is quite a way from home and was therefore forbidden for us to go there for almost 2 months. I realised that the extent of my excitement didn't match the 'normalness' of the activity. I think it will take us all a while to re-balance our emotions. :-)Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18249932461932536479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119733539095505639.post-60430410797581868782020-05-20T03:28:23.867-07:002020-05-20T03:28:23.867-07:00Love your stories and the ups and downs.
