~:[CH9 - Day 106]:~ Meaningful Minutes

I average about an hour outdoors a week at most. When I do, it's normally getting food and the sad realities of a new normalcy. It's so strange not to greet each other, to be so aware of others, and to think about everything that you need to do to be in compliance, However, these minutes are quite meaningful, especially when you're indoors almost literally 24-7. It's a scary time to live. My friend in Hong Kong told me that he and his friend contracted the virus, yet luckily since recovered. As while many will recover, we have to do our part to help in these times, yet still mindful of our own mental health. I've been doing pretty well, but I know that these handful of minutes keep recharging me, whereas normally being home did just that. I read a post today that got me a little sad, as I heard about the mental struggles of someone I know. It's definitely a difficult thing to face when we are in these types of moments, but I hope that everyone knows that my ears are always ready and open and that I know a lot of people around you are ready for you as well. We all need to do our part, but that also means taking care of ourselves and knowing what we need to do to keep ourselves healthy. As while for the most part I will be found staying at home, I am grateful for these few meaningful minutes where I can get outside and even run into a familiar face here and there. Even six feet apart, it helps fill some of the void left by these challenging times.
