I am sure there is more than I can remember right now, but you get my point.  My airline credit is at an all time high, and I could probably go to Ghana for free right now with the amount of airline vouchers I have.  

For the first time in my life, I haven’t been able to do anything that I want to do, and I realize that me complaining is a small fete. People are dying, many are sick, and so many have been affected by the pandemic. I really have nothing to complain about as all of my loved ones are  safe and home.  I do, however, have some essential workers in my family and we pray for their safety everyday as they serve others.

Thinking back to my CANCELLED plans, here’s a little fun fact about me:  The beach is my happy place. I find that I am at peace when I am there. Its so calming for me. Right now, I just want to sit on the beach.

Do you see that glow? I want that so bad right now, but all I have is pictures of when the world was open and we were free to roam as we pleased.I have been trying to come up with things that are getting me through this time, although I do not have a hard time spending time with myself, I am trying to be intentional who and what I consume.

Addicts spend time with yourself, listen to what your heart is telling you, find joy in things that make you happy. I have been reading a lot lately, listening to podcasts, going for a long drives, listening to music, going to Starbucks for coffee and buying plants for my home.

So what’s the first place you want to travel to when this is over? And what are you being intentional with?
