Is this real life?

Friday the 13th (not so funny anymore!), I kept my daughter home from preschool because of all the panic going on regarding the corona virus. A week later, her school/daycare ended up closing and they don’t know when they’ll reopen. It’s an eery feeling. The streets are bare of moving vehicles, the road I live on has more people walking on it everyday than I’ve ever seen before, and the only full parking lots are Walmart, Dollar General, and Target.
This honestly doesn’t feel real.
Does anyone else feel like you’re on a constant roller coaster of emotions since all of this has become a pandemic? I don’t really even know what to blog about.
The boredom’s set in full force. We are going stir crazy in the Berenyi household. I’m pretty sure my kids can feel the tension. I’m trying to keep them on a schedule and keep life normal, but they’re struggling too.
I feel so sad for the seniors this year that don’t know what the future is going to hold. I feel so sad for the families who can’t see their elderly relatives. I feel sympathy for all the kids sports that were cancelled. I feel complete pain for those who have someone who passed away from covid-19. This is so surreal and scary, and we all don’t even fully comprehend it or know how to cope/act.

I encourage you all to find a stress outlet. Whether it’s taking a walk, drawing, singing, dancing, working on a project, writing, etc. Make lists, make goals that you can accomplish in the walls of your home. Challenge yourself to grow while you’re stuck in this situation. Stay positive and let’s build each other up. Let’s support each other.
I know for me, taking pictures is a huge stress relief. I have a photo challenge of the day on my Facebook page, and I encourage you all to join in on the fun!
I cannot WAIT to take your photos sometime soon, I hope. I miss it, I need it, I crave it.

Thanks for reading my ramblings. My mind doesn’t make much sense right now. But we are all in this together.
Stay healthy. Stay safe.

xoxo
