There's not so much camino chat right now. I (like most of us) am at home thinking up things that we can do to occupy our lives for the next 2 to 4 to 8 to who knows weeks.
A friend of mine posted on Facebook today that she is lonely. She lives alone and, whilst she has animals, she posted that she feels so isolated already. In my real world I am always out, always busy, always working, walking and seeing friends and this enforced stay at home is hard. Of course, in comparison to so many people I know that it's not 'hard' and I sound churlish but nonetheless...
There is a sadness and an anxiety that creeps in. As an example, over lunch we were sat enjoying the spring sunshine and watching the birds queue for their lunch from the bird feeder... it's beautiful. But amongst this glorious scene I turned to my husband and said... this could be our last spring. How sad that those thoughts are in my mind... underneath and being pushed back... but nonetheless there.
How are you managing this? What is your method of staying positive - what strategies to you employ to stay up-beat in a world of noise and sadness?
p.s. Reading this is sounds like I'm really sad... I'm not... I'm just thinking out loud really.
