Footprints on the moon

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.
