This morning, I decided to go for a morning walk. Saw that the neighborhood was quiet and no one was out. So, I decided to clear my head. According to the news, it's okay to go out for a 30 minute walk as long as you observe social distancing and this morning, the streets were almost empty. Just encountered 3 people but we were all on the opposite side of the sidewalks which gives us a lot of social distancing.
I must admit that my 15 minute morning walk helped. It calmed my mind a bit and what was nice was there was practically no one in the streets with the exception of the 3 people I encountered. It's a rare thing and I love it. I hate to say it but a lot of the old neighbors have gone and a lot of the new ones don't care or have no sense of being a good neighbor. In other words, I have a lot of neighbors who are jerks. It was nice to go out even just for a short 15 minute walk because going into voluntary self isolation is something that I am still trying to get use to. I just have to count my blessings that I have a house vs. having none at all or being in a small condo. The only time that I really stayed home for a month without going out was when I had the H1N1 flu. I only stayed home because I just did not have the strength or energy to go out. All that I did was sleep most of the time and to isolate because I did not want my mom and my brother to get sick.
During my morning walk, I realized that there were so many things that I took for granted and when this whole pandemic simmers down, I will not take those things for granted anymore. I don't know about you but I know that after this, my whole world will never be the same. I don't even know if I will be able to get through this because every morning when I wake up, I feel like I am in a doomsday film just hopelessly waiting for the world to end.
