Feest Isolation Days – 6 January 2021
Here it is, the first full day of National Lockdown! At least the sun is shining and it is a pretty, though bitterly cold day. As we all recalibrate and get ready to spend another six plus weeks at home, it’s time to make a plan. Those six weeks will fly by for certain!
I’ve booked a week long writing course, all on line or by Zoom, for a few weeks time. Whatever it is that you fancy, now’s the time to turn your hand to it. It might be a good time to check in to see what you managed to do last lockdown and if you might tweak your schedule to include more or less of something or other. It’s all up to you! It always is of course, but these lockdowns have reminded us of that like nothing else. It’s sort of like being at school with an assignment that you choose. You can do anything you want to do and nobody sets the plans. Such freedom! The only thing you can’t do is to do nothing. Even if you think you aren’t doing much, you are! What have you done so far today? What didn’t you do yesterday that you thought you might? Go for it! Today’s the day. In another eight weeks or so, we hope that we will have been vaccinated and the world will once again beckon in a different way. It’s all a state of mind. How many times have we heard that in how many ways? Must be true!
My lack of humour yesterday is now over. What a difference a day makes eh? Somebody said that too. Must be true! A day at a time. Embrace your day. All those top tips are top because they are meaningful. Drag them out and use the ones that work for you.
We had booked to go to Cornwall in two weeks time. Sitting inside a cosy warm holiday home with fireplaces looking out at the sea. Oh well. Instead we will stay home. At least it is a very nice place to be. Take away your heat for a day or so and you realise just how wonderful it is when it returns! Everything else will be a bit like that soon too. In the meantime, keep smiling. When those crappy moments hit, ride them out. They soon will go away.
Stay safe. Stay home and enjoy Lockdown as much as you can!
With love
