Lockdown Diaries : Acknowledging our emotions..

Lot of us ignore our mental health thinking it's for the weakest and/or it's for the those with chronic issues. The truth is, many of us including me doesn't acknowledge or address the constant fear or anxiety in this pandemic. It started off somewhere in China then Italy then rest of the world..slowly in to your town and now, someone in your street or apartment or someone in your circle has it.  Some of us can't stop thinking the symptoms of the virus even though cold and headache is common otherwise.

After a week in lock down, lot of appreciation for things around me esp  home, garden and  my space..  We are blessed with this year's Autumn weather, mostly sunny days... I'm grateful for the small garden , greens & flowers we have, its beautiful to just sit and watch A play. I remember the last time I spent @ home cherishing my time was when I stayed home with a new born 8 yrs back.. It was around this time too.
