Last night, Nicolette and I had a lovely FaceTime session with our friends Heidi and Lindsay. It was filled with laughs, great conversation, and smiling faces. It was absolutely fantastic and a wonderful tonic to lessen those feelings of isolation.
During my morning music/gem-matching session today I stumbled upon a fantastic idea…
…since we are all cooped up in our own homes not able to go out and have social contact with anyone, it’s easy to be inundated with negativity.
Unless! Yes, unless you have the sort of epiphany I did this morning. My great idea? I decided I was going to start going through my phone contacts starting with the letter A and just FaceTime everyone, even if for a few minutes, to say hello, check in, and generally hope to give them a positive moment of respite from the “new normal”. All the while also giving myself that positive contact with people that is so desperately missed.
Number one on my alphabetical list? One of my all-time favorite Momot kiddos Miss Abbi Crahan, a 2020 senior at PHS who is missing out on her final softball season for PHS. I cannot imagine how devastating that must feel after putting in so much time and work over the past three years. I can just see her face when she gets the FaceTime request from Coach Terry. O_O Then her thinking that old man must’ve made a mistake.
NOPE! No pocket FaceTiming here!
The realization came like a “well no duh” moment. We can create our own positive environment. It’s something we have control of. Choose to be a positive force, and you will absolutely feel better about your day to day.
So if you could use a smile, or a conversation, or an ear to vent to and don’t think I have your phone number, shoot me a DM on Insta or Facebook, and I’ll be in touch!
everything, etc.
