We are in this together...

Have you ever been in a line up that was not moving?
You can see everyone around you and how they cope with this.
Ahh so you have?
Well then I bet you recognize that one person in the lineup that always manages to let out a big
*SIGH*
in their huffy puffy breath.
Because they are frustrated and getting angry of course.
...
Just like the rest of us..... in the same. freakin. non-moving. line up.

They manage to do this, however, every couple of minutes.
Interrupting my own struggle with my zen.
And this annoyance spreads throughout the line up.
A once quiet internal dealing and patience testing line up is broken every couple minutes by this large big ass ...

*SIGH* huff huff


*SIGH*


*SIGH*


*SI..... *


DUDE!!! STFU!!!
Muther F**ER  !!!
You are not making this any easier on the rest of the line up!
Pull your big-kid pants on and learn to STFU!!!
Cause this line-up is not only about YOU!

........

Yes so these times are tough and I know its not easy to self isolate/quarantine/ or stay in lockdown. It's ok to be overwhelmed and to express this, and to break down a bit at the thought of it all, I have thats for sure.
But I also try to focus on the positive - wow - social media! Thank goodness! And more time to reflect. Time to do all those hobbies (indoor) that we did not have time to do before. To do our taxes, to start home exercising, to cook, to connect virtually with people, to connect more with family, friends, to check up on everyone, pray for those that are putting their own lives at risk for us. Find ways to help others, help others cope. Its a time to forget the conflicts and to realize what is more important.
So the cliche that is going around right now is that "we are all in this together". It is said so often that is has been overlooked as a cliche. But really, if we look very closely at this, we really are all in this together.
So yes, check up on each other or reach out to those close when we feel depressed or overwhelmed.

But huffing and puffing about the situation which is just the new normal right now to randoms and for all to hear and see, without doing something about it - does not help others around you who are trying to cope along with everyone else.....
