It is the end of May, and after 10 weeks I am ending daily entries with this post.
When the order to shelter in place went into effect on March 17, I started this blog simply to record my personal experience of everyday life in quarantine. The order from March 17 through April 7 was extended to May 31. And now the only thing that is clear is that the call to suddenly shut everything down was a lot easier to make than plans to restart and reopen public life.
The world is becoming a different place as we speak. Or is it? A reckoning is taking place throughout the United States of America right now. I do not know what to do or say. I just feel more compelled to civics and (re)learning history.
I knew that I would want to make a change to these daily posts once the order to shelter in place ends on May 31. Instead of the order being lifted today a curfew has been imposed on several cities here in the Bay Area. Nevertheless, or perhaps precisely because of, it is time for me to focus on my work rather than indulge in complacency.
The daily posts will be replaced with a weekly update on Fridays in which I will write about what I am working on, whether it is my professional life or civics. May was a hard month, and June is starting off with even more upheaval. But I hope my weekly updates will show progress however it may manifest itself. Until then, take care.
Just read your Endnote. I feel that the world is definitely changing and those who choose to are moving and shaking too. I see this as a challenge but also as an opportunity to re-educate. Read, look, engage and become and be more aware.
I could use a good Thao and Martin fix .. fingers and toes crossed🙏 Keeping it real on the yoga mat daily. L♥️VE YOU
