I think that everyone in the last week has been impacted by the news of the Coronavirus in some way or another.\u00a0 In the last week I have had different events cancelled that I was due to attend.\u00a0 I have had a good friend fly back early from her trip to Paris to make it home before the restriction on entry back into the US. My son who is currently living in California I had to talk down off the ledge because he was concerned that he will be stranded inside without any food.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s time for a Coronavirus WOOSAH. So, in case you are not familiar with the term WOOSAH it was made popular by the movie Bad Boys II used to indicate or achieve a state of calm and relaxation. That is not to say that we don\u2019t take this seriously.\u00a0 There are precautions that we should be aware of and take. I understand the impact that this is having worldwide but I\u2019m a glass half-full type person.\u00a0 So as this Coronavirus has slowed down just about everything that we normally would do, it\u2019s given me the opportunity to slow down just a bit and be okay with it.\u00a0 My schedule has been so crazy the last month that people I would have normally called just to say hello has been put towards the bottom of my to do list.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I was to travel to New York from Maryland on Friday and stay through Tuesday however after some cancellations in my schedule I decided to make the drive Friday and return Friday evening.\u00a0 Boy am I glad that I decided to WOOSAH.\u00a0 I got back home on Friday evening after a sixteen-hour day but I got to wake up in my own bed the next morning.\u00a0 I slept in, something I haven\u2019t done in over six months.\u00a0 I took my time all day not in a rush to do anything.\u00a0 I did have to go out and run some errands but not with the intensity that I would normally have on a Saturday, my one day that I had to complete all personal things for myself.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Upon my return home I had lunch and did nothing, and I did it without guilt.\u00a0 I had the time to make the calls that had somehow gotten on the bottom of my to do list.\u00a0 I touched base with important people in my life and reconnected with myself.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Many of you are at home with kids who are out of school or work that has been shut down.\u00a0 We may even be at home with someone who has been tested positive for the virus. There is still a glass half-full moment here.\u00a0 Take the time to reconnect with your kids or reach out to those you haven\u2019t spoken to in a minute just to say hello.\u00a0 The saying \u201cThis too shall pass\u201d comes to mind.\u00a0 We have an opportunity to take a situation that has put our country at effect and turn it around so that we cause what we want to remember during this time.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As I reconnected with myself and others, I realized that the stress of the Coronavirus allowed me to have deeper connections and conversations with those around me. My son that I had to talk down off the ledge, well it wasn\u2019t really the Coronavirus that was causing him the stress but through our conversation we were able to figure it out.\u00a0 When I spoke to him this morning, he laughed at how he responded earlier. I feel all caught up with important people in my life and I have recharged myself.<\/span><\/p>\n
