There are footprints on
the moon. I remember as a solider we always used to print, update and prepare all
the information at the office in case of emergency. We even acted like it is
around the corner - So once it occurs, we will be ready. How come we weren’t ready for
this I keep on asking myself- after all, there are footprints on the moon.

Just kindness
Two amazing gestures of pure kindness happened to me today. Two! One was in a form of a long, informative email and the other was a great
phone call. For free. No charge. Just kindness. Two strangers, professionals
who were willing to invest their time answering my long list of questions. I was
thinking about it a lot during the day. About doing, without expecting anything
in return.

Remember
“Do you remember?” I haven’t even woken up yet but my mom is ready
with a story. A story about the dress she is wearing, about the last trip to Italy
with my little sister and about grocery shopping for the last time. For her, it
is the life before and after. She is already announced she will not go traveling
the world anymore, she will not go to restaurants or shopping at the mall. Dear
mom, I don’t know everything in life but I do know this- You will definitely go
to the mall. I don’t know when but you will do all the things you love. Remember.

Recalculating our steps
Me and my mom took a short walk today around the block. It was so
great to be out there, breathing
again but every time we saw someone walking toward us we changed our direction. Instead of walking towards people you run away from them. I wish recalculating our steps was the only thing we needed to do. I guess it is just one of them, for now.

In it together
“We are in it together” is a sentence you hear a lot. It is all
over the news but what does it mean. For some it means “you shouldn’t feel FOMO
since we are all stuck at home”. It should be in a way of caring for one
another, taking responsibility, initiative to be a better thinker for a better future.
Better.

Ranting
We share the same grandmother. Not in real life but inside my head.
She is in L.A and I am here. We talked today wondering what would grandmother had to say about our current epidemic. As people recommend not watching the
news, we tried not to talk about the news. Ranting will not get us anywhere
right now. Laughter will. Note to self..

Not tomorrow. Today.
I was brushing my teeth this morning felling I need to hurry. There are so many things I can do. So many options for free courses and free trials. You know me, I am a freak of free things but I feel like I have neglected the tough things and that is not the point. There will always be things to learn, always. Now I need to focus on doing the hardest, uncomfortable, unfamiliar. Not tomorrow. Today.
