Yoo-hoo Where’ve you been?

Yoo-hoo where have you been? To say that I’ve been lost in Covid time is an understatement. Days are strange. Time is spread out in to days that are fast, days that are slow and the days that seem to have just disappeared. I’ve been taking this time to rejuvenate, to regenerate, to review and to reflect on my life. Who knew that I would be someone who could run every day for 131 days in a row? I think I’ve surprised even myself. I’m doing yoga with my family three times a week. My brother-in-law, my sister, my nephew and my niece, what a complete and utter joy. I’ve been given this gift, this window into my family that I could’ve never dreamed of. When my grandsons were visiting, even my 10-year-old grandson Logan did yoga with us. And to have that sweet child next to me bending and stretching and working on his breathing is something I will never forget.

Today in yoga, Emeka our instructor, used words that I haven’t thought of in a while – –Excellent! Superb! Wow! Wow! Wow! He reminds us that something good is happening, that life has Immeasurable worth. His outlook on life is a wonderful reminder of all the things that I am grateful for right now during this crazy Covid time . So while I’m not sure I would’ve ever wished for 131 days and counting of this bizarre period in life, I’ll take it, what about you?
