Weekly Update |
Hey Macaroni! Hoping you are all well and staying positive! Let's get real for a minute... I don't know about you but I'm a COVID roller coaster. My mental state is fine but I find myself getting overly anxious and stressed then a couple of minutes later I do something else to re-focus my mindset and then I'm ok... then a bit later, I'm scared. Fear sets in, the reminder of the 'unknown' and of course after fear comes my daily pantry-check. Fast forward to me realizing I don't need to go buy more bread and then I'm good again. This cycle is real, it's constant and it's weird. I know I'm not alone on this roller coaster either and want to extend my support to each and every one of you. Stay positive, stay strong, stay busy... it helps.
