During difficult times we are lead back to the basics, the things we know for sure, that bring us some sense of normalcy. It's also the things we took for granted in the hustle and bustle of our every day lives. Maybe it's dusting off that board game, or getting on the floor to play with your pets, or reading that book that you got yourself months ago, or organizing your garage, or even setting up a giant pillow fort in front of the TV to watch a movie. These are simple things yet so profound because they do not require a device in your hands nor your attention to be other than where it should - your home and your space. This is the time where we find out just how distracted we allowed ourselves to be over things that didn't matter and we couldn't control. Now is the time to engage in your life in a very basic yet life changing way. It's time to be completely present. Open the window and let the sun hit your face. Go for walk and breath in the crisp air. Watch your children play. Laugh ... like really belly laugh when something funny happens and it will because you are now paying attention. Distancing yourself from others only means engaging back with yourself and the loved ones right in front of you. So engage, and laugh, and enjoy, and LIVE!
