be fearless in facing them.” Ravindranath Tagore

The
current situation in our country and the world has brought us together to be
united in fighting COVID-19. I am at
home and I take it as an opportunity to make valuable use of time and also be
healthy by not only preventing myself by staying indoors but doing the
following:
Keeping
to the same routine (practicing yogic stretches, gratitude and prayer to begin
the day)
Learning
to cook and bring some variety for Breakfast, lunch and dinner J
Cleared
up one of my shelf – still in process, clearing all the clutter
Connecting
with a few students who are away from family, living on their own and on
medication – giving them encouragement and support on whats app.
Connecting
with friends – yesterday was Ugadhi (Telugu New Year) was wishing them health
and happiness and interacting with few of them.
Checking
at the provisions and ensuring that there’s enough for 3 weeks so that we don’t
have to go out and stay home to protect self and others.
Started
a new habit of praying together as a family and using the technology – by
attending mass every evening following the Utube; as there are no church
services available.
I
am still in process of making the list of the things that could be done in the
next 3 weeks, it’s quite a lot of time; while updating myself constantly about
the situation;
I
am hoping to make the Best of the time given to me… it’s also time to Reflect, Re
adjust, Renew. Reorganize and Realize that “THIS TOO SHALL PASS”...
Together
Let us be safe and ensure the everyone is safe by abiding the rules laid out to
us as citizens.

ReplyDeleteHi Archana, its a joy to connect with you; staying at home and trying to do all that I can to help myself and those around. To read a comment on my post gives a happy feeling, and assures that we are all together in the current scenario of COVID 19. I found the decorations interesting too and loved being in that place for a whole day. Hope you and your family are safe too.. time to pray for one another. take care..
DeleteLovely quote by Tagore thank you Genevive and Ugadhi to you family & friends, those who observe this. I've just made a note to myself to look up more of Tagore .. I've always liked him. Take care in this time, be safe, and while we're alone we can also be united.
ReplyDeleteThank you Susan, I am glad you liked my quote. Nice to know that you like R Tagore. Tagore remains my all time favorite. Some of his writings from Gitanjali - a collection of poems for which he received the Nobel prize is sung. I used to enjoy singing those songs, which I still do while I ride to work. Its comforting to know that none of us are alone, globally we are one community fighting together and praying for healing and harmony on this earth. Love and Hugs:)
DeleteLovely trees. Stay safe.
