COVID - 19: the number of pounds we will gain for sitting around

Update: I wrote this in early April but didn't post it until today (May 20) so I am back dating it.
I remember feeling it was important to be positive, today I have a different perspective but I am posting this anyway.

This picture has become a very familiar image. I see it everywhere...
news casts
magazine covers
commercials
and in my nightmares

Coronavirus or Covid-19 has taken this world by storm.

Right now I don't like our "new normal" and I pray we go back to some kind of the "old normal" soon but to be honest I am so curious to see what changes permanently. 
Mother's across the nation are praying for kids to go back to school and maybe they will ban together to give teachers a raise. I'm guessing parents everywhere are realizing "it was the kid's fault after all!" Joking...not joking!

So much has changed and some of it for the better.
Our family calendar isn't crammed full of activities so we always eat dinner together and 6 of 7 days we go for a walk.
Sunday mornings are now a little more lazy but we still get church in as a family.
Online school...ok I'm not sure what the positive is with this one. ha
Businesses are closed and I'm saving money.

I miss seeing friends.
I miss my kids' activities.
I miss dates with my hubby.
I miss my hairdresser.
I miss giving hugs.
I miss going to church.

But I refuse to let fear take over.
