This past week has been totally unbelievable. The COVID-19 pandemic has been surprising on so many levels. In looking back I was surprised at how smooth last week ended up going for me.

How so?

Years ago, I saw this quote on a Chipotle bag.Yes, really a Chipotle bag. LOL. It was so powerful, I decided to keep it. But, to be clean I made a copy of the bag before I tossed it out so I could just keep the quote. First it hung on my desk at work. When I quit my job, I moved it to hang on my fridge.

I watched happiness inducing videos on YouTube last night until I could fall asleep happy. I needed to shift my energy. The day started off relatively well but then, at the end, I fell into a deep dark pit of sadness. LORD. It was bad. It snuck up on me like a Mike Tyson punch to the body. I was crying and snotting all over the place but I wasn’t going down without a fight.

One of my first positive memories in life was of me and my uncle watching boxing matches. Boxing was my first love. My first real connection to anything outside of myself and my family. I was intrigued only by the boxers that were extremely articulate.
