DAY 2 – SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO!

Hi Guys,

What a difference a day makes! Having something to look forward to is always a recipe for happiness! On the spur of the moment, I decided to make yummy banana bread today. As I write, its aroma is filling my home with such positive vibes! It should be ready for coffee break coming up. I have two more things that keep me feeling happy.

Last night, I discovered Big Little Lies, a drama series on Crave tv. What a find! I can’t get enough of it! It’s totally addictive viewing and has a killer cast too, which include three of my favourite actresses, Laura Dern, Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon. I’m disciplining myself to only watching two programs per night after supper otherwise I’ll get nothing done on my to-do list! If you haven’t already seen it, I’d highly recommend! So that is something else to look forward to!

The third and BIGGEST thing I am currently looking forward to is Easter. I have always loved Easter. It is one of my favourite of all the holidays! My 14 day quarantine will be completed by Holy Thursday, just in time for Easter. Yay! I brought loads of Butler’s Irish chocolate home for the family, including a big easter egg to share. The girls will be coming home for Easter and that is something I am SO looking forward to! I’ve really stuck to my Lenten fast this year and have not touched a sweet or chocolate. I cannot believe it! So only 12 days to go and then it’s crunch and munch the chocolate time!!

What are you looking forward to today? Is there something motivating you to get through this social isolation thing which is horrendous for some. I hope so!

In terms of restriction, Quarantine is a step above Social Isolation. You cannot go outside the door! No shopping for groceries, no chatting with the neighbours over the garden fence, even if you are observing the 2 meter rule, no power walking, no drives in the car. Just you, yourself, and you. It helps if you like yourself because you will be spending a lot of time together!

Get baking, gardening, petting your pet, praying, meditation, writing, reading a good book, listening to upbeat music, dancing, yoga — whatever it is that helps you get through this peculiar time! Do it! But please do stay connected with others. No man or woman was born an island — especially now!

Hugs,
Patricia xxx
