Refocus

I thought there would be something magical about the end of the month....After all, April is a new month, time for an end to the virus and time to get back on track and a normal life, right?   It appears that is not to be.

Admittedly, I don't follow the news much because I'm prone to worry and fret but from what I've read and heard this isolation and social distancing IS the new normal ... at least for the time being.

So, with the start of a new month, AND the start of a new week this is a good time to Refocus.

According to the definition of Refocus it is time to refocus my attention by repeating my main points.
To me that means refocus my attention by repeating my normal routine.

* Get up at my normal get-up time.
* Make my bed as I normally would AND open the curtains and the window!  Let in the fresh air and the sunshine!
* Have my coffee and quiet time like any normal day.
* Participate in the streaming exercise time from my gym, Anytime Fitness
        (not quite normal as we would normally be at the gym.)
* Shower as I normally would and get dressed in normal clothes....not P.J.s.
* Be at my desk, ready to work at my normal time.
* Eat normal meals (for me that does not necessarily mean actual cooking.)

Finally, at the end of the work day, retreat to the sewing studio for a bit of R & R;
finish up the boring* masks I've been making and get back to my way more fun normal projects.

Now, THERE is my bright spot for the day.

*doing my duty to God and my country should not be considered boring...but truth be told, making masks is boring.
