We are one week into the Stay Home order. I’ve experienced a great sleepiness that I read is due to grief, at the loss of a way of a life. I don’t think that’s it. I think it is, for me, relief. I finally, finally have some down time, to care for my body that is trying to heal, to care for my mind, and most of all, my spirit. To allow myself to sleep, deeply and with great relish, has been an incredible gift. I feel I am being renewed, reborn.
I’m sure part of why I’m doing so well is that I’ve chosen to steer clear of too much news. I cannot change what is happening in the world, so I gather just enough information to understand what I must do to keep myself and others safe, but beyond that, I don’t have an opinion or care to form one. I am content in this irresponsible bubble, and it’s working for me.
I am blessed beyond measure to be able to work from home, and with that shift I become excited again about my work. I find satisfaction in what I have to offer and enjoy sharing my knowledge. My productivity as they say has skyrocketed, and once I get past the sleepy stage, my energy levels with it.
I also realize that though I love my job and I love serving others, I want to do more. I want to bring the world my gifts and I begin in earnest to offer more of my talents, to delve deeply into my stores of knowledge to be able to be of greater service to others, which becomes an incredible gift I give myself.
