I saw this on Facebook on Saturday (and re-posted it) because it spoke to me:
I don't know what the original source is but I liked it. It reminded me that all is not lost. And as I thought about it on Sunday, I decided to write my own "Not Cancelled" post. In honour of Covid-19, here are 19 things which are important to me, which are not cancelled.
1) Hanging laundry out is NOT CANCELLED.
2) Blogging is NOT CANCELLED.
3) Drinking coffee-hot chocolate is NOT CANCELLED.

Yes, I intentionally picked the picture of Rachel with a Corona.

I feel better when I remember all of this. Tell me what joys aren't cancelled for you. After all, we're all in this together.
Very funny and true too! We actually needed toilet paper too, last week, lucky we got some!
ReplyDeleteThis makes me SO HAPPY to read! I love your positive spin on this and the reminder that the very best things in life are totally unaffected by the outside mayhem. We are packing lunches and going hiking today to have a picnic in the woods and I’m so excited by this. Cheers to the best things!!!
ReplyDeleteToronto Raptors are still defending champions, I'll take it!!
ReplyDeleteBirds chirping and beautiful skies are not cancelled either. Legos are making a resurgence at our house.
Yes yes yes to the beautiful skies!!! The kids just spent an hour outside in the sunshine and blue skies while I hung three loads of laundry and did some yard work. And yes, I think Lego will play a big part of our next few weeks :)
DeleteThis just made me smile - exactly what I needed on a week like we've been having
ReplyDeleteLove this, such a great post!! I think I need to do a similar one. :) I think RIGHT NOW my biggest one is Children driving me crazy is NOT canceled haha.
ReplyDeleteFor me going to work is NOT CANCELLED. Although I wish it was. Unfortunately they'll never send anyone home from working at the hospital during a pandemic. I never considered this when choosing my career! haha. I'm exhausted from this past week so I'd add that crawling into bed early is NOT CANCELLED. Thank goodness! Hope you all stay well.
