Coronavirus and Writing

Hello blog, after a long time! Did the Covid-19 inspire me to write a short blog? In theory, yes. I hear many friends and former clients declare that the silver lining in the lockdown has been for them the free time. After a few days, maybe a couple of weeks of painful adjustment, they are now appreciating the free time, which allows them to explore new activities. I admire them for what they are saying. I firmly believe in the silver lining. I have faith in it. Unfortunately, I don’t have much faith in my ability to find it. Not always. In this case, I spent the first few weeks figuring out how to keep my house somewhat clean. I didn’t manage to do that and I began a battle with myself which exhausted me and yielded no concrete results. My inner turmoil caused me to feel dissatisfied with myself, my inability to adjust to the lockdown and that, in turn, affected my relationship. Back to the silver lining. It’s there. My cat and dog are still communicating with me. The blog is there. If nobody reads it or communicates with me, so be it. So, I’m back. And there is more to come.
