    @PureandEasy We found it so hard, but what really helped was listening to Eckhart Tolle, perhaps this might help you.

    Another rough day, my boss' husband died suddenly last night.  The second death in our work family in less than 2 weeks.  And neither connected to COVID.  I know people die everyday, but there is just death all around . . . every night on the news, the COVID numbers; the senseless deaths by gun violence (which for some reason are increasing exponentially) and then those just unexpected deaths.  It's just every where.  What next?  That's what I keep asking myself.

    Sorry, again, I know this was supposed to a positive thread, sorry.

    Don’t apologize. I’m sorry for these losses; they hurt.

    Sorry to hear of your loss @PureandEasy it's such a tough time. As @hedonist said, you dont need to apologise....  I've actually experienced 7 bereavments in the last year and like you said, the majority were not covid related. I think when you know the person and when it's sudden it can be more of a shock especially if they're not elderly or unwell. I'd like to pass on my condolences. Big hugs.

    I have been able to work at my office the entire time.  Two of the three firm partners are working from home, so less people to bother me.

    I am able to wear shorts and flip flops every day to work.

    This is my first week back in the office since March and man it really is an adjustment.  I’ve basically forgotten the routine that i would do 5 days a week for decades in the morning.  

    Not to mention im now a bigger germaphobe than before.  My door stays shut and when im moving throughout the buildings Im like What About Bob

    One positive is visiting my normal coffee stop again on the way to work.

    Myself and my partner both got to spend more time together due to her working from home. I feel that it has brought us a lot closer, so I'm grateful.

    Cooking at home more and eating healthier and it’s delicious!

    Yeah I know what you mean about that @ConorKavanagh it's great to be home with your loved one(s) instead of spending so much time  commuting and working for something when you're hardly there.  For me jnstead of seeing colleagues (unless we are zooming) I now just see my dog all day which is kinda nice.

    The slower pace has really suited me. I know it's not for everyone, and I did continue to work as normal also.... But when everything was closed down, naturally things halted a bit for me, and with a bit of media distancing....I began to have a pretty sweet lockdown!

    1. Working from home has been great for my kitty.  She appreciates having her servant available during the day, for proper lunch time feedings.  And, I'm loving the extra cuddles during the day.  Plus, the hair is growing back on her belly - she was over grooming and had licked the fur off.  I think it is anxiety related.
    2. I made bread for the first time ever during Covid.  So so good.  I am definitely going to make this part of my life ... just not so much in the summer when it is hot out and I don't really want my oven on.
    3. I have gotten a routine of early morning walks ... since March, I've gone for a 30-45 minute walk almost every morning. It is taking the place of my commute to work.  It's been so lovely ... I literally witnessed the emergence of spring.

    1. Lol: servant ... extra cuddles sound good
    2. I'd love to make walnut bread, in fact I might make walnut cupcakes this afternoon- thanks for that!
    3. Your morning walks sounds really nice
