I would say for me that it's been tough seeing everyone's face covered up. I miss smiling faces.

I do still smile and say Hello to people.

I guess you can see the smile in my eyes.

Things are definitely different.

Prayers to all. Stay safe.

Not a big difference in my life, but my heart goes out to all those doing it tough.

I’m off work with anxiety and lockdown is very lonely.

Hi Loo,
I'm glad that the pandemic hasn't effected you and your life. That's great. Yes it has been tough on some people. They have lost their job. It's tough on the children. No schools for them to go to. Having to wear a mask everywhere you go. The world is so unsettled. My heart goes out to everyone that is affected by it. Thanks for your comment, Italianmomma4ever.

Hi g27,
It's nice to meet you. I'm so sorry about your work situation. Trust me your not alone. And having to deal with anxiety on top of it is awfu. Anxiety is not fun to have. I have it also. Yes lockdown is very lonely. Sometimes I feel so isolated from everyone. I think a lot of people would agree with you on that. You take good care. Stay safe. Italianmomma4ever

And g27,

Hi g27,
I sent you a friend request.

And I think the worst of it all is that so many people have lost their life's.

For me, high risk = limited.

Reading faces through the eyes has been a positive learning experience as I see far more smiles when I smile through the mask.

Here's to healing and healthy recovery from the pandemic for everyone.

Hi Mid,
It sounds like your on high alert from the virus.
That's good. Staying safe and keeping your distance is the right thing to be doing. And of course washing your hands and wearing the mask all goes with the territory.

I have found that you can see in people's eyes their expressions without being able to see an actual smile because of the mask.

Hugs and Healing to all. Stay well everyone and stay safe. Italianmomma4ever

Its good for me but i am sad that in lost my job an d i am finding it extremely difficult to get another one.

Hi Pryce,
Sorry to hear about your job. You and so many other people are in the same boat.

Right now would be tough to find another one, because there are so many other people looking too.

Hopefully something will come up for you.
I'll keep you in my prayers.

The pandemic has been difficult for me because my husband works all day, my only human contact is to see my physical therapist. I have zoom, but it’s not the same. I try to stay busy to distract myself, But sometimes I ruminate. I also play my flute, guitar, watch movies and practice Tai Chi.

Hi Secouya,
That would be hard to deal with no contact from the outside except your therapist. And with your hubby working you don't really see him much.

I agree Zoom isn't the same as having someone actually being there.

Staying busy is a must!!!

Playing your flute and guitar sounds very relaxing.
I love music. Watch movies too. Haven't got into Tai Chi. Just yoga. Thanks for your comment. Italianmomma4ever
