I just finished Austin Kleon's book, 'Keep Going: 10 Ways To Stay Creative in Good Times and Bad'
And I read this paragraph he wrote.
"A little imprisonment - if it's of your own making - can set you free. Rather than restricting your freedom, a routine gives you freedom by protecting you from the ups and downs of life and helping you take advantage of your limited time, energy, and talent. A routine establishes good habits that can lead to your best work."
So, our having to stay at home, some may feel imprisoned, can give us the opportunity to get to know ourselves a bit better. And create routines that we may not have the chance to create. We are usually pushed through our lives by having to get up really early, catch a bus, a cab, a train, any way to get to work. Now many of us have time. Precious time that we didn't have before. Create a new routine while you can. It will not last forever. Before long we will be back to getting up early and off to work.
I must say, I am holding all of those in such high regard that are out there every day putting themselves in harms way. They are exposing themselves in many ways. And I have a new respect for the medical staff, grocery store workers, pharmacy workers, and all of the others that are in the public. Please stay safe and healthy.
