We’ve been caught in a dream
More like a nightmare where no end can be seen
Waiting impatiently, searching for the light that seems so far away
Praying to see that day
Emotions swirl out of control
The weight of the world slipping through our fingertips
Trying the grasp a sense of normality while compiling to the rules
Stay at home
Wear a mask
Social distance
6 feet apart
Quarantine
No friends
No family
No gatherings
No life
But yet let’s spin this just a little bit....

Families that are “ normally” so wrapped up in sports, activities, work etc
Are now eating dinner at a reasonable time ( at home)
Spending this time with their children
Going on walks through nature
Having “ campfires” in their backyards
Baking and cooking together
Catching up on life ( together)
It may not seem normal for this day and age but for me growing up this is what is was like everyday
Family dinners
Playing outside
Spending precious time together
Learning about one another
As much as this is a scary and an unknowing time
Find the positive through darkness making light in these uncertain times....
