My mirrors

What do you see when you look in the mirror? How do you feel about what you see? I am beaming with pride with how I have emotionally, physically and mentally continue to live day by day through the pandemic. More than a year of isolation and cautious action has allowed me to embrace and appreciate my mental strength among other strengths of mine. 

I continue to get to know me and what I want and need for myself. I am grateful I like myself enough to be alone. This time has masked that I am ok with being by myself. I have watched some struggle and thirst for connection. Connecting with yourself first will allow the ease of connecting with others. I delightfully get calls and texts unexpectedly. I set up my regular ZOOMs and calls as needed according to all parties. 

The most challenging thing to see in the mirror has been my dry skin. It did invite creativity as I use my steamer to transform my bathroom into a dry sauna regularly. I rather get the best skin by sunlight and I look forward to more of it this spring and summer. 

The mirror in 2021 has been more uplifting and easier to look into. 2020 just felt like a constant dark cloud, 2021 has felt like we are nearing the end of the tunnel. It makes it easier to feel comforted by the mirror with sunshine around it. It also makes it easier to take action since 2020 let me reflect, learn and grow. Hopefully you are making your lemonade with your lemons and looking your best in your mirrors too!
