Hi everyone! Its Tanya. Today I want to talk about the coronavirus and keep you updated on my life, how it’s changed, and all of the things I am enjoying and learning.
Me, my mom and sister Michelle were in Hawaii when the coronavirus started. I was nervous because I wanted to get home safely and be in my comfort zone. When I came back I did have to stay away from people, but I was not alone – I was surrounded by my family (mom and sister) and I knew how important it was, and still is, to stay healthy.
There were many changes that took place at the end of of February and the first weekend in March, when coronavirus first started. One of those changes was my workouts. I wasn’t able to workout at the same place I was used to, because it closed. I also wasn’t able to go out and do things I enjoy, like going for coffee, sitting down at a restaurant, going grocery shopping or shopping for clothes. I also had to change my schedule around, including work, and family and friend time —which taught me how to be more flexible.
With the changes that have happened I have decided to be strong and upbeat and start everyday happy with a smile on my face. With being flexible, I had to change the types of things I do every day. I have been playing, doing puzzles, listening to music, colouring, calling people on the phone and watching TV and movies. With these activities, I am making sure I stay home so that I can keep myself and others safe.
Right now, I feel lots of support, light and love in my life! I am a caring person and often find myself thinking about others and how they feel. I am happy that I am still able to stay active and eat good meals. I am also very thankful for my family and friends! Many good things have happened since COVID-19 first started. Those things include having more time to relax and spend with my sister and my mom. I’ve also been able to explore the outdoors more.
I want to learn more about the coronavirus. I can get a little afraid when thinking about it and how long it and social distancing will be around, and the chances of a loved one getting sick. Also, sometimes I can find myself getting angry when listening to the news and the constant information. Instead of becoming too upset, I think about how the coronavirus has taught me, my loved ones and everyone else important life lessons.
Thank you all for reading my post. I am making this blog because I want to remind everyone to do their part as caring citizens for the health and safety of everyone.
Be inspired,
Tanya
